Any way to have the thumbnails on articles.php within a field so that they are all the same width?

Also, the articles without images are not showing any thumbnails at all. Would be nice to have a pop-up message asking the author to place an image in his post if he'd like a thumbnail for his post. Or the user could upload an image that could be stored within the db.

Can you also allow us to choose a style to exempt this articles section from being used on? I have a mobile style and it just doesn't work with it.

btw...Great mod!! I love it!

Right above my banner there are two numbers separated by commas. Any reason for this?

I tested this modification and found a bug...

On the article page (thread) the username of the author links to forum.com/1234 (1234 being the user id) rather than forum.com/member.php?u=1234

I have tried disabling my products one by one, but it seems to be the article forums that are doing in.
Did you disable Full Size Attachments in Article forum Options?
