In forumlist pages, where the icon shows up next to last posted member,.. icon shows up.

No problem.

But, if the forum is a private forum, the icon still shows up for all usergroups and shows the avatar of the last poster. Can you make this so the avatar icon will not show up for private forums in forumlists? Or maybe a generic avatar icon in place of it?

Thanks, and I love how this makes my threadlists look.

Anybody know how to assign a default avatar (or have no avatar) for when guests post? Or can I omit the unregistered usergroup in a condition if easier. We have one forum that permits guest posting, and they show as broken image links where their avatar would be. thx

Can you share your forum URL and I will be more than happy to have a look.

I think a simple condition statement should do the trick in the code you provided. Any suggestions?

The condition is already taken care and works fine on my test setup. Yes the member links are invalid.

I just tested it and your plugin works as intended. The problem is when a thread is submitted by a guest using easy forms.
I am not sure if you are familiar with the easy forms product, but there is a box for hooks where you can instruct it to apply a plugin before posting the form.

These are the options below in case you or anyone else are familiar with which hook is needed.

Form Hook: Form Start:

Form Hook: Before Submit:

Anyway thanks for taking the time to clear that up.
