Yes, I already use an official modification for this, so it's not something I'd be desperate for in 3.1 or anything, but they're highly used, far more interesting looking than the old 'on/off/locked' icons many forums use for status icons, and pretty much every fancy forum I've seen worth it's salt uses them as a feature.

Basically, the feature that allows you to use custom images for each forum on the forum index page. You see this kind of stuff on Gaia Online and what not, as well as quite a few big boards, so it's got a fair amount of demand. vB added a version of this as a feature a few years back, so I think IPB should kinda follow suit. Maybe just a box at the end of the edit forum settings page for each forum to add a custom image in the style of the image replacements system already in IPB?

Yes, it would be nice to have that feature inbuilt. Every forum is different and we can choose icons based upon each category.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Do you mean this mod?
If so, I would like to see that as a default feature too. It also doesn't seem to require too much coding to be done. :whistle:

If not, which category icons do you mean?

Yeah, I mean that mod. Or basically, like how my own forum has different icons for each 'board'/'forum', that should be a default feature.

I also think that this is an important feature.

Would also like to see this :)

Wouldn't use it personally, but I can see how it'd be a feature that gets a lot of use. I'm sure if it was implemented it would be optional, so I'm all for it. :)

There is a forum that has this looks pretty well done.
