How to use an Image for "Post New Topic" link in forums?

Hi, just wondering how to use an image instead of the "Post New Topic" link in my forums on my drupal 4.7 site?

I'm wanting to make an eye catching "Post New Topic" button, for people more familiar with common forums with New Discussion image buttons etc - but I'm not sure how to add it to forum.module?

Thanks

user.module

I have big problems with the user module. I can not change any user profile. When I go to a user profile I get the following error:

Images not showing up - not ever!

Hi there folks.

I'm pretty new to using drupal, but I have managed to master the basics over the last few weeks, building a site for my band (a tad experimental so far, but it's up at http://www.lancasterorchestra.com/drupal if you wanna have a look). I've got the basics in place, and now I wanna add some pictures to my content. That's when things come to a grinding halt:

- If I "hand code" the image links (i.e. 'Only local images are allowed.' etc.), nothing shows up. I checked and double checked the URL:s, the input format (tried both Full HTML and PHP), the folder (at least read permission for all the files for all groups)

- I thought I would be easyer to install a module that let me browse for the images I wanted to use, in case I DID do something wrong in the code, so I installed the "image" and "img_assist" modules. Same issue there though, and the images won't even show up in the img_assist-dialog window. I uploaded them through the image gallery function, so I can see the title of the image in the list, but the preview/thumbnail just wont appear.

- At first I thought it might be the content type that didn't allow images (started out in the body text to an audio post), but then I went to a post of a type that is listed in the documentation for the img_assist-module , a story-post (although I belive the node-types listed there are basically just examples, would not make sense to not be able to add images to other nodes as well): same problem there though, images do not show up in the img_assist dialog.

Disabled the #&$@#$ main menu via block manager

Via the block manager, I accidentally disabled any administrative menus that would get me back to the block manager.

Is there some way to reset this via some config file?

Thanks

Creating a blog-style 'latest news' section - simple problem I'm guessing

New to drupal so apologies if this is obvious.

I want to create a section of my site: www.mysite.com/community/news which administrators can add news stories to - i.e. latest news about their company, not news feeds or anything like that.

Making my own modules and understanding the API

Hello, I'm a programmer who has decided that to make drupal do what I really want it to, I must program my own modules. However, I'm having trouble understanding exactly how to do this, it's hard to follow the documentation on this website. How can I write my own modules?
