The Topic Image Preview MOD scans topics from allowed forums, then displays images and associated topic titles from the last 10 topics which included images. Each image thumbnail is linked to a full size version and each topic title is linked to the topic itself.
This mod includes a check of whether members are allowed access to a forum before displaying the images.
Guests are not allowed access. To allow access to guests, in "Topic_Images.asp", delete (or comment out) lines 50-52; or in "inc_topic_images.asp", delete (or comment out) lines 41-43.
"inc_topic_images.asp" is provided to enable the image display to appear in "active.asp" (if you want them displayed with the active topics page).
Get a copy at SnitzBitz.

Edit: Thanks to a suggestion by Etymon, in v1.1, I added a check to determine whether images are allowed at all, and another to check if there is an image path.
 Sort direction, for dates DESC means newest first

Not sure if it is me or what, but the topics do not match the images on my test site.

I sent Carefree an e-mail asking him to make the MOD check for unmoderated posts. Before, it allowed them into the mix. He updated the MOD at Snitz Bitz. Maybe try downloading it again and see if that fixes the problem.

Not for the test site, sorry.

What I am getting is that there is an image in a topic, but when you click on the topic, there is no image in the actual topic. The image relates to a different topic when I do a search for for the image name in the search function I find they topic which is totally different.
Great concept but.

I made it work so it has one image per row. I like that better myself.

I'm curious as to how this mod is intended to be used? It's an interesting mod but I'm not quite sure what it does.

Since men (more so than women) are visually stimulated creatures, I thought that perhaps images would catch their eye and generate more interest in topics that might otherwise have been passed over. This mod simply checks if photos are allowed, then displays images and links to topics from last 10 topics which include images and where access to forums was granted. It's just a form of topic advertising.
