Thread icons instead of avatars

[manelis]

Following my last thread im checking with the demo site the features I currently use, and having a custom thread icon is the only one missing right now.

Is there any way (preferably free) to change the avatar to a custom icon chosen when the thread is created?

We use it to filter some information:

I know we can use tags here but the extra visual feedback would be nice, and the avatar doesn't seem a usefull feature anyway.

Thank you for the help.

There is no option for that and I'm not aware of an add-on.

Ok, thank you. Will probably see if it's not to complex making myself the addon then.

It wouldn't be too difficult to develop.

There's this: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/*******-advanced-threads-icon.1348/ you might be able to modify it to show in place of the avatar.

Side note having the avatar and mini avatars is one of my favorite features on XenForo, I love easily distinguishing my posts and the posts I've posted

Indeed.

I even created a little add-on which turns the mini-me avatar into a search link, to show your posts in the thread.

Didn't thought about it that way. Maybe mixing both and letting the small one stay and chenge the big one for the icon?

Anyway, it's not a limiting factor to our purchase. If it Brogan says it wouldnt be hard to develop, I will experiment with it to see where I can get to.
