I've started a new social group and would like to put up a picture to represent the group in the description section like some other groups have such as Zombies, and Pirates, but I can't figure out how I am supposed to do that.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
 
Scroll down to the bottom of the group page. There is a link on the blue bar that says "Edit Group"

The second half of the Edit Group page allows you to edit the group icon.
 
Maybe it's changed since you saw it last.

All I see is:

1)The top drop down box where you pick group category.
2)Group description box which says 'BB code is not allowed'.
3) Below the Group description box you select group type; public, moderated, etc.
4) Group Options; enable albums, enable messages

Then there are save and reset buttons.

What am I missing?

This is what it looks like for me.

Thanks very much for going to the trouble to capture that image and post it.

Don't know why but mine's different.

I checked to see if I could figure it out, but I get the same screen as you (in Firefox and IE). Hmmm.

Kiah, thanks for going to the trouble to check. I appreciate it.

baldtaco, I don't think it's java. I'm not an expert on html, but I pulled up the source code and the icon option doesn't appear to exist anymore.

Hi gcmblade -

The difference I see is the implementation of your browser - the php for the vbulletin does depend on the browser and version - notice the difference in the button widget that Nimick posted, the button is different. Your browser is implementing the style sheet differently.

Make sure your browser is the same version as Nimicks as a start.

Also there are many settings in the vbulletin - but since this forum only has one stylesheet it should be fairly easy for an admin to troubleshoot the issue for you (easy but not FAST - this stuff is cludgy for the admins to debug....)

best regards -

It was a permissions setting - should be fine now.
