User Icons on Discussions page?

Has anyone come up with a solution to display a User's icon on the All Discussions page under the topic they created?

If you are using the DiscussionsExcerpt, add the following after:
if (!@$UserManager) $UserManager = $Context->ObjectFactory->NewContextObject($Context, "UserManager");
$DiscussionUser = $UserManager->GetUserById($Discussion->AuthUserID);
if ($DiscussionUser->Icon)
{
$DispIcon = '<img src="'.$DiscussionUser->Icon.'" style="border:none" alt="" />';
} else {
$DispIcon = " ";
}
after
$rows = $Context->Database->GetRow($result);
Then you'll have to replace the $DiscussionList line with in the IF:
$DiscussionList = str_replace($Discussion->Name.'</a>', $DispIcon.' '.$Discussion->Name .'</a> <li id="DiscussionExcerpt" style="overflow:hidden">'.$PageList.' ...</li>', $DiscussionList);
and in the ELSE, replace with:
$DiscussionList = str_replace($Discussion->Name.'</a>', $DispIcon.' '.$Discussion->Name .'</a> <li class="DiscussionExcerpt">'.$PageList.' ...</li><br/><br/><br/>', $DiscussionList);

If this is too complicated, I'll just make a new version of the add-on with this as an option.

apologies for bumping this up, but i was wondering if this is still the best solution...?

actually, i tried it and it didn't do what i wanted.

i want the user icon to be displayed immediately to the left of all the other info and in line with it, as though it was in a column on its own. how hard would this be?
