Thread Banner

[dataman]

I would like to show a sort of banner at the top of any thread, which would show the avatar of the thread owner/starter. If I get that working, I'd like to dynamically add the avatars of any other posters in that thread. We use Living Avatars, and I can dynamically create the image from EditAvNew.php. Then I inserted 'echo <iframe src="living_avatars/includes/editavnew.php"> into showthread.php. Well, it showed the desired image at the very tip-top of a thread (I'd rather show it below navbar), and other images somehow enlarged, especially postbit icons. Not good. I know there's a better way.
