Add thumbnails to topics list?

edited September 2012 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

Since I see Vanilla with more social potential than what is intended for, an forum solution, or maybe an questions and answers site, is there a possibility that every topic/question from the list to have a thumbnail asociated if the topic/question has a photo in it?
As far as I saw it is a plugin in the addons section but what it does is to show the user's thumbnail/avatar with the excerpt.
Any help appreciated.

    write a plugin that shows the thumbnail in the discussion topics page.

    You have to decide who the thumbnail is going to be - author or last commenter.

    either way shouldn'be to hard to modify author time view plugin if you want to - to prepend the photo thumbnail of the repsective author or loast commenter, if I get your gist correctly.

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

    @peregrine: Dude, there is already a plugin for that. I want to output a thumbnail based on an image uploaded in the topic(or separately), like wordpress post featured image :)
