I understand that that's where the data for the forum icon is kept. Let me try to rephrase my question.

On the main index page you have a list of categories and forums within each category. A forum may be assigned an icon that appears in the table displayed on the main index page. The reference for the icon in that table comes in the form:

<img src="{VAR: data->forum_icon}" border=0 alt="{MSG: forum_icon}" />

Here's what I want to do. When I click on one of the forum links in that main table, I go into a specific list of messages, in either flat or threaded view. I want the icon associated with the forum to appear as a header graphic at the top of the page. I want the correct header to appear on each individual forum. I've tried putting that image tag into a number of different templates and all I get is a broken image (if I get anything at all.)

If I paste it into the main index template it shows up only on the first main page that lists categories and forums in a table. And I still only get a broken image.

So, is what I am doing possible, and which template corresponds specifically to the body of a particular forum?

To give a quick example of what I'd like to do

You have this nice FudForum banner at the top of each page. That's NOT what I'm trying to do. I understand that that was placed in the header as a static image link. You have a series of categories with forums in them. I'd like to, say, click on the How-to forum and have something like a toolbox graphic at the top of that forum. Then I'd like to go into the Announcements forum and have a different graphic portraying a big note pinned to a bulletin board.

I thought that assigning the individual graphics as forum icons and then using that code at the top of the page was the way to go. Tell me, what am I doing wrong?
