But when your posting a thread, it is differant because it needs to display in forumdisplay. My icon won't be shown but if you posted one it would be (In forumdisplay)

So basically that's why its needed in the thread table.

Sorry ... I still don't get it. If the icon needs to be displayed on forumdisplay, why not take the icon from the first post ? It is very easy to do that since the "thread" table contains a "firstpostid" field.

To be more clear: please give me a situation where the thread icon is different from the icon of the first post from the same thread.
