Find

<td class="alt2" title="<phrase 1="$thread[replycount]" 2="$thread[views]">$vbphrase[replies_x_views_y]</phrase>">

Sorry to take so long to respond but there is no hooks when fetching thread bits in vBulletin 3.8.x and so we cannot fetch avatars thread results pages as thread bits.

The issue can only be solved once we edit the core vBulletin files but that is not recommended and so will not be able to update the plugin to support it.

If you are fine editing the core vB files, here is what you need to be doing.

Open tags.php file

Find

eval('$threadbits .= "' . fetch_template('threadbit') . '";');

And Add just above it the following

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('search_results_threadbit')) ? eval($hook) : false;

And the avatars would show for thread results in tag pages.
