The Skinny
A site I work on was using Zoints and with that, used the forumhome random profile feature. Well there were way to many problems with Zoints for me to even consider keeping it, but the owner of the forum liked the random profile feature, so I told him I would make one for the default vB profiles. So I did and figured I would release it here sense I couldn't find this mod on here anywhere.
What does it do?
This mod allows the admin to display a horizontal table on the forumhome, that displays a number of boxes, which the admin chooses, that contains a users name that is linked to their profile and their avatar scaled down to make the box look organized.
What can the admins do?
The admins can enable or disable the mod.
The admins can choose to list the users based on one of a couple things.
Most Recent(Latest registered members.)
Latest Visited(Latest members to visit the forum.)
Latest Activity(latest members to post on the forum.)
Random
The admins can restrict what usergroups can see the mod.
The admins can specify the width and height of the table cells.

Thanks. Works great except I cannot get custom avatars to show. It will show the default avatar but not any custom ones. Maybe because I have 3.7 still.
Would be totally awesome if you could make this work with vbadvanced as a module.

It does work, you need the default avatar in the directory it looks for and named defaultavatar.gif.
Using 3.8 and the user avatars doesnt appears. Only the defaultavatar.jpg for profiles without avatar shows up. You know why?
Something wrong with the avatarurl path in the plugin code? We usually save our useravatars under another path than standard vB ... does this mod care about that?
This seems like an interesting mod. It could help with members interacting with each other by visiting each other's profiles more. My members don't spend enough time on each other's profiles it seems. This could help that.
But, with the issues of custom avatars not showing, I can't install this as is.

Working 3.7.4 Thank you
I have no probs with the default avatar as I explained. It's the custom avatars that are not showing up.
Hope someone can post a fix. Thanks.
I moved avatars into the file system to see if it would help this mod work. Same prob. I'm using FF and custom avatars do not show up for me whether they are in the database or the file system.
I am also trying to have the profile list vertically in my sidebar but can only have 1 showing as I cannot get it go vertical. Any ideas?
________ Ipad Cases
Works perfect with 3.7 latest version. I installed so it's be ready when 3.8 comes out. Incorporated the code into my customized skin too, http://www.garageglamour.com/forums/ I also changed the size of the thumbs, as I don't want it to take up too much room at the top of my forum.
Any chance for a vbadvanced version of this, that gives the option vertical/horizontal too? Thanks, rg sends!
