New Posting Features - Thread Thumbnails

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.

Forum Display:

Search:

If you are Upgrading from the older version, see directions in the README file on how to undo the template edits.

Ditto. Sounds like several people in this thread have reported this problem, but I haven't seen a solution posted.

I don't have vB 4.0 and I actually don't even have admin access to the forum I had used to develop it on. So basically, I have no way to do it, even if I wanted to.

The attachments is a known problem, and because I didn't have a working development server that supported attachments, I could never debug the issue.

Sorry for the lack of support lately, but my computer took a dive and I retired from admin on the vB forum that I had been running.

Would it help if you have access to a VB 4 test board? Or what do you need more?
