Hi
thanks for the answer, Tic Tac!
Are you fluent in php? I still am more into perl, but willing to learn...
Here is the screen:

This is how it looks like if the poster doesn't chose an icon (1st three posts, 4th post with icon). I don't like that empty cells...
Now if I chose to include a default icon in the CP, vB does include the default icon in every post - even in threads.
-> I want a default icon only for the first post of a thread if the user doesn't chose one.
Btw: I saw a lot of people posting this
thx,
-Tom
