Thread Thumbnails --------------------------------------
Created By: Null Parameter
This mod is officially tested with 3.8.1, but has been reported to work with many other versions.
Please leave any comments, suggestions or bugs.
Description
This mod allows a user, when creating or editing a thread, to specify a Thumbnail image to be used for display next to the thread in the Thread Listing.
With this mod you can define a set of forums that have thumbnails enabled, then in those forums whenever a user creates or edits their thread they can change their thumbnail, based on the method that you choose to allow.
This image is then shown in the Forum Display, in place of the Thread Icon.
The image also appears in Search & Tag Search, and I can add it to the regular Search if somebody requests it. And possibly have options for displaying in each area.
Actually, I think I just figured out the issue people are seeing with the First Image Setting.
The issue is that, to save on processing, I only update the thumbnail when a thread is edited or created, therefore if you have a forum full of threads, none of them will have the thumbnail saved. So, if you go back and edit the first post of a thread, the thumbnail should update and work.
Obviously, this is a bad workaround, because if you have 5k threads, you'll have to edit 5k posts to get all of the thumbnails to work, but it should still work while I think of a good way to automatically update threads when a forum is added/removed from the list.
Yes how i told. this first image option is useless without a fix because to open a post and then have to edit them everytime is just stupid and no user know/understand that...
you are right we have 40k Topics and cant edit them manuell. I very hope you can fix it!
but still good work and good support !!
Sorry - just realised that should be "First attachment in post". Sorry about that.
Yep, I was going to say that the SQL was for the attachment. Hmmm..... Must be a different version of SQL that doesn't allow like named items, I'll look into changing that as well.

I'm looking into a way to do an update to all of the threads in a forum when a forum is added to the list.
