This plugin requires you to manually edit templates.

Find

$thread[title_editable]

And add the following code before.

<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$thread[postuserid]" rel="nofollow"><img height="32px" style="float:left;margin-right:4px" src="$thread[avatarurl]" border="0" /></a>

Find

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

And add the following code after.

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.

Thanks it works!!!

Is there any way to have the next versions not require style edits? I'm just curious.

Don't have any such plans as of now.

Can you share your forum url so I can see the issue.

[Frosti]

I just took that one line back out and I can live without the lastpost avatars... I have quite a few other MODs installed so it might be a conflict, I'll play with it. I'm enjoying the Avies for the threadstarters so thnx for the MOD

[mykkal]

Is it possible to decrease the MYSQL queries? This plugin drives the load up very high.
