I have a free forum and want to add some user rank images.but it says it should be relative to phpbb2 root path.I dont understand it and my english is not very good. can someone help me please???

Lets say your server has a file structure like this:

/home/your_account_name/public_html/phpbb2/images/an_image.png

(ABSOLUTE) phpbb2 root path =  /home/your_account_name/public_html/phpbb2/

If you want to access files RELATIVE to that root path, they can be srced directly such as <img src=images/an_image.png>. It just means, if you want to src an image file, you only need to provide the part of the file location that is after the phpbb2/ folder.

An alternative file structure: What if you have the images folder outside of the phpbb2 folder?

/home/your_account_name/public_html/phpbb2/
/home/your_account_name/public_html/images/
to access the images folder from the phpbb2 root folder you need to specify the file source like this:

src="../images/an_image.png" - the ".." means go up one folder.

Hope this helps.
