Can you elaborate a little more on what your requirements are pls. You can already have a choice of icons for each thread...? is this what you mean?

Hi Ross

Thanks... but to be honest I am not happy with that design - it's a tad bitty and I think I got carried away with wanting to finish it - and I never would have. So now I have reverted to a typical blueish one. Sad eh!

Anyway, what you want to do is possible - but with a few minor amendments. Effectively you'd need to create a new image for each of your forum categories, but when you savew the image, name it image_1 for forumID = 1 and image_2 for forumID = 2 etc. Once you have done this you simply substitue the code that currently displays the statusicon with code for "/images/yourstyle/image_$forumid.gif". This will then display the correct image for each forum because it uses the forumID in the name of the image - get it?

Not sure what the exact code for this is off the top of my head, and I am literally heading out the door for a train to London just now. I'll provide it either later on this evening when I get home or if no time then, on the weekend for you.
