Well, I finally figured out the subforum thing. Requires code edits, as there aren't any hooks nearby. Open up /includes/functions.php

Find:

$threadinfo = array(

Add in your avatar variables like below (be careful with commas!)

					$threadinfo = array(
						'title'    => $lastpostinfo['lastthread'],
						'threadid' => $lastpostinfo['lastthreadid'],
                                                'avatardateline' => $lastpostinfo['avatardateline'],
                                                'hascustomavatar' => $lastpostinfo['hascustomavatar']

Then you can simply call these variables in a forumhome plugin like so:

$lp_dateline = $lastpostinfo['avatardateline'];
$lp_userid = $lastpostinfo['userid'];
$hascustomavatar = $lastpostinfo['hascustomavatar'];

You can even do this without the forumhome plugin just by getting the variables from template. (Still need the query plugin, of course).

Best of luck!
