Forum image

Hello, and seasons greatings to you all.
I am trying to add a forum image - where it sits next to the forum name. On the edit forum screen I can see the following:

Forum image:
Location, relative to the phpBB root directory, of an additional image to associate with this forum.

I have uploaded a news icon and the path I put in was

images/icons/myicons/news2.gif

I get an error message stating that

The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again.

This path is correct in relation to the root of phpbb. I have tried with and without a leading slash but can't get it to accept it.

Any ideas would be welcome please.

thanks in advance
Mark :beg:

Hello Mark, Happy Christmas!

I might be stating the obvious but it may just help, try adding a / at the start

Code: Select all: /images/icons/myicons/news2.gif

Thanks LDM, I already tried that without success.
However, I have just sorted the problem, although if you have any comment on this I would appreciate it:

In the General Tab, under Security Settings I disabled the maximum form submit time by adding a -1.

Maximum time to submit forms:
The time a user has to submit a form. Use -1 to disable. Note that a form might become invalid if the session expires, regardless of this setting.

It now works. Anyone know of any security vulnerabilities now I've set this?

Cheers

Code: Select all: /images/forum_icons/Family.png

this is how i have forum images set up, but i guess you say you have gotten this fixed, i wasn't able to get the gif's images to show so they had to be png! Don't know if this is how you fixed it!
