Thread Thumbnails
Created By: Null Parameter The Thread Thumbnails mod allows users of a forum to specify, in several possible ways, a thumbnail for their thread to be displayed on Forumdisplay thread list. I had created the mod for vB 3.8, but people we're crying out for a ported version to vB4, and, thanks to help from several of the members, here it is! Description of Features Thumbnails are displayed on the Forumdisplay next to the threadicon. In the ACP Options, assuming you are using the Auto-Template Edits, you can choose which side of the icon to display it on. Forum Display Screenshot When submitting a new thread or editing the first post of a thread, a thumbnail can be specified directly if the User Entered URL option is chosen in the ACP. Another option is to Require the thumbnail. If the thumbnail isn't required, it may be left blank by the user, and it can either not be shown at all on forumdisplay or be replaced by a default thumbnail image specified in the ACP. New Thread Screenshot Edit Post Screenshot All available options in the ACP include...
This version is also now using phrases, so it can more easily be translated! Installation Install the product XML file. That's it! If you have a highly customized style, there is a chance that the auto-template edits will not work. In that case, you will need to make the template edits manually. See the included README for more details. Thumbnail Style The style for thumbnails is specified in the ACP. It is used to choose exactly how thumbnails will be displayed, including width, height, margins, borders and many other attributes. The style is specified in CSS, and is applied directly to the HTML img tag. Here are some examples of possible thumbnail styles, along with a description of what they will do. If you don't know much about CSS, you can learn more here.
FAQs The version of this mod for vB 3.8 showed thumbnails in the search results. Where did they go? The search system between vB 3.x and vB4 changed significantly. I didn't have the time to figure out the complexity of it, and was unable to find any examples of other mods that integrated into the search results.Does this mod work for RTL Languages, such as Arabic? There is a separate product XML file available for download that has the appropriate changes to support RTL languages.When I choose the First Image in Post option, no thumbnails show up in my current threads. Why? Thumbnails are only updated when a new thread is created or when the first post is edited. Parsing through every forum/thread whenever the options are changed could be disastrous for performance.Translations Arabic Versions v3.1
I am fully willing to support this mod and continue to add new feature to it when they are desired enough to make them applicable to the product as a whole. The issue is that I do not have access to a vB4 installation, and therefore cannot develop. Several people were gracious enough to offer up a test installation for me to use, and that is how this mod exists today. If any new features/fixes are wanted, other people will need to be just as gracious. Also, since I don't own a vB4 instance, I'm supporting this strictly out of the kindness of my heart. So, if you wish to Support me as a developer, it would be much appreciated. Enjoy! Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information. Screenshots

OK First Bug as I can see now, I changed to before thread icon and now have 2 pics on the forum display page 1 before thread icon and 1 after thread icon. LOL
VBoptimize Users You Must Disable Cache Styles (Set It To No) then the thumbnails will work as needed. Also You need to Disable vB Optimise: Cache Templates so that you do not get multiple Thumbnails on Forum Thread Display. This is just a small part of vboptimize that is well worth turning off to get thumbnails to work. No members have liked this post.

I was basing that answer/guess solely on the description of the mod. It really depends upon when and how the template caching is done vs how and when I do the auto-edits. No members have liked this post.
