It's a shame that this doesnt work, it's a XenForo script just thought I'd let you know!

Reported to work though... I have not tested to confirm. I'm curious though, it shows in a thread whether you've downloaded a mod or not, it states "Not Download" beside your name so aside from a screenshot, how do you know?

Thread avatars were around in vBulletin before Xenforo was made from what I recall, in fact may have been in IPB before vB that I'm not sure of though (simply saying). What site were you on when viewing that source code? I ask because I don't see a demo link anywhere and just because <!-- Commented Out Code --> exist on a site does not make said code "the truth, it's on the interwebs is why" and may actually just be someone who prefers XF over vB and made a comment in their code because the thread avatars in vB remind them of the ones they know of in XF etc but again not sure as no link other than a screenshot.

From info's KiKaclub
if you don't want the lastpost icon show go to Admin > Setting > Options > Thread display options (showthread) in the 4th box (show default post Icon) empty it (leave it blank) click save

you don't need to modify the template at all

The other thought that mode word fine on vb 4.2.5
I ran it on IIS7 server and MySQL 5.7

Thank you very much for your sharing this mode phpdesk

I really like this plugin, but it not work anymore with php 7.3

is there any other plugin do the same job?

How do I align the avatar to the left so that the thread title, author and date show on the left and not below the image.

Is it possible to increase the avatar size on this mod aswell, it's a tad small.

Did anyone ever find a fix for the wrong avatars showing on forum home when that forum has subforums?
