Thank you. That has all been a great help.

I'm also having adding a link+image in the top menu (Home, Logout, User CP). The link it going to an outside page. I went into usercp.tmpl, and added:

&nbsp;&nbsp;<a class="UserControlPanel nw" href="linkgoeshere" title="The Vault"><img src="{THEME_IMAGE_ROOT}/top_vault.png{DEF: img_ext}" alt="The Vault" /> </a>

The image isn't showing, so the text is coming up, making the link useable, but what is the proper way of doing that, where the image will also show?

I'm not sure I follow, but viewing the image info in the user CP above tells me that the path for the images used is:
http://fudforum.org/forum/theme/default/images/top_help.png

So I imagine that the path for your image link would be the same, however you would need to ensure it was in the proper place within the theme so it does not get over written when the themes are rebuilt and you would want to ensure they are added to each of your different themes if you have them.

Generally putting it in the default theme should work.

&nbsp;&nbsp;<a class="UserControlPanel nw" href="linkhere" title="The Vault"><img src="{THEME_IMAGE_ROOT}/top_vault.png" alt="The Vault" /> </a>
