May be because of following code?, I have this code in tempate.

<dt class="lastpostby hidden">{vb:rawphrase last_post_by}</dt>

I have added This coed <a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw thread}, null, 'lastposterid', 'lastposter'}"><img height="32px" width="32px" style="float:left;margin-right:4px" src="{vb:raw thread.lastposteravatarurl}" border="0" /></a> above it.

Also is it possible to reduce the size of avatars?

Thanx in advance.

Can you share your url so I can look if there is any issues with the installation because the code looks perfect as of now.

For reducing the size of the avatar change the width and height parameter for images. As of now we have

height="32px" width="32px"

but you can edit it as per your need.

[BlueCheri]

Thanx for reply.

I have tried to reduce the size of Avatar, but can not able to do it.

Sending you the url.

Thanx again.

I already see it as reduced on the threadlists and if you want to reduce the size on the home page as well you can do that by changing the size from 48px to anything you like

Change height="48px" width="48px" to the size you prefer.
