lol really ? What image url are you using ?
Btw,do you know how to make each category have its own image ? (Not the icon,the image that fills it) Do I have to make a custom Theme for each one of them ? Image extension ?

you make the template edits requested, then go to your forum manager and at the bottom or nearly the bottom theres a fillbox for the catagory icon, i try putting the images hosted in my forum, hosted in imageshack, and hosted in photobucket, all of them work

Catagory Icons
Tested on 3.6.1
By Adrian at Development chat.com

Current Version: 1.0.1
1.0.1 Status: Working Fine.

Hey,

I noticed a few people around the 'net wanted a modification like this, It wasn't too hard so i thought i would give it ago.

You can specify a image path/url to use for your catagory icon, if none is specified, the forum will use vBulletins default image.
See bottom of post for screenshots

Installation
Import product-catagoryicons.xml (It should make the needed Mysql tables too)
Go to Options > Catagory Icons to enable the mod'.

Template Edits
Open Forum Home Templates > forumhome_forumbit_level1_post
Find:
HTML Code:

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" />

or

HTML Code:

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0"

id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />

Replace with:
HTML Code:

<if condition="$vboptions[customimg_enabled] == 1">
<if condition="$forum[customimg] == ''">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0"

id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />

<else />
<img src="$forum[customimg]" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />
</if>

<else />
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0"

id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />
</if>

Save.
Open up Forum Home Templates > forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
Find:
HTML Code:

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" />

or

HTML Code:

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0"

id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />

Replace with:
HTML Code:

<if condition="$vboptions[customimg_enabled] == 1">
<if condition="$forum[customimg] == ''">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0"

id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />

<else />
<img src="$forum[customimg]" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />
</if>

<else />
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0"

id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />
</if>

Done.

That should be it.

To set catagory icons, just edit a forum, the image field is at the bottom.
If you have any problems, just ask.
