Image in header

BriteButt
I want an image in my forum header.  I put the following code in Options -> Application -> Edit Name and Description:


nabble_img src="hangout2.jpg" border="0"/
Here's the place where Members of the Bronyland Community
can hangout and share their thoughts with other Bronylanders

The image does not show up. Also, where should my image be stored on my website to work with the above code?

Or is an image in the header suppose to be a CSS thing?

Thanks so much

You can do it either way, providing you use a full URL to the image. Here's an example of the description field in my test forum (with HTML box checked):
<img src="http://gregtest.991552.n3.nabble.com/file/n2543944/gregchapmansmall.jpg">
Forum description here.
You will probably need additional arguments to place the image where you want it. you can also do it via CSS like this:
#forum-header {
	height: 200px;
	background-image: url(http://gregtest.991552.n3.nabble.com/file/n2543944/gregchapmansmall.jpg);
	background-repeat: repeat-x;
}
The image is posted within a message on the forum and it's URL found by right-clicking in my browser, but there also no reason why you cannot use an image found on any other site. For example the CSS code for the forum embedded at:
http://www.ukhbbr.plus.com/forum.html
includes:
#forum-header {
	height: 229px;
	background-image: url(http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac268/seahawk-17/ukhbbr/ukhbbrbackground.jpg);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
