Thumbs in Forum View and custom image styles

[Peter]

Hi, How can I add a thumbnail for the forums view and how can I add a style to the images ?
I attach an example I saw in a customer site.

You turn cat avatars on in Admin Index Options and you select an image when viewing one to be INDEX THUMB for that category and it will show up on the cat avatar box.

Hi, if you mean "Show Category Avatars?
Do you want to display the Index Avatars?"
Is set to yes.
And no image is showing.
Any ideas in making the thumbs look with that style or some else in the recent images block ?
Thanks.

You need to make one an index thumb as noted in my last post.

Avatars do also not use overlays since overlays are specific sizes.

Hi Chuck, I didn't see that, cause it was not a reply it was an edit. Thanks I have the thumbs after choosing them.

Any idea how can I make the thumbs in the random images or latest images look like the example I uploaded ?
I have seen another sites that add the style to pics as they want, how can I do it ?

Thanks.

Thumbnails in your recent photos can have specific layouts thats called Photo in Admin => layout Options choice thumbnail-photo

Thanks Chuk.

Choosing it makes the trick, thanks.
But the backround is not white as I need it, where to modify that ?
And, can I make my custom layout for that ? How ?
Thanks.

You can modify the background color etc in the template

thumbnail-photo.tmpl etc etc

Thanks Chuck
