I saw this at the vB site and loved it...anyone have a suggestion on how I could do it? I have sub-forums for each state and this would be awsome.

I also like how they have the logos in the threads here:

Any suggestions?

Most likely a hack. Search vBulletin.org or check vbhackers.com I think they have it

For the subforum-thing you can probably do this by editing forumdisplay templates. No source hacks needed.

And I believe you can insert a image (html) in the description field - and then if needed position it with CSS.

And you kan insert a image (HTML) as forum title, just tested! :D

This will be usefull :p

Any example of where that code would be inserted? Somethings I know and some I don't...I am fast learner...:)

Forum manager: Forumtitle and/or description. Insert <img class="something" src="file location" alt="" />

As for template edits you need to look through the FORUMDISPLAY templates, i think.
