This plugin allows you to add the ability to generate first and/or last post avatars on the index, forum display, search and show thread pages of your forum in one simple plugin. Made from a request by Shade (with thanks!). It was developed on MyBB 1.8 but I'm sure it works on peasant other versions too. 
What it doesn't do is style the avatar - it's up to you to decide how to implement them on your forum. Just have the last poster on the index or first poster on the forum display - your choice. You can even style them differently; OCD permitting.
I know some won't like this as it doesn't do everything for you but it seemed a waste not to allow others to use it too.
Installation
Download and follow the readme; upload all files in the Upload folder to your forum's root and visit the Plugins section of the ACP and install FLP Avatar. When installed it adds a new setting and a cache record.
Usage
FLP Avatar is designed to prevent duplicating content and re-use as much information as possible; i.e. only querying the database when it really needs to.
Follow the instructions in the readme as to how to turn on each avatar section and example coding as to getting the avatars to appear. Remember - you style the avatar. A little effort will pull off some pretty awesome results.
Demo
Currently in use at Xekko Resources.
Download
Available via the Mods Site or via GitHub.
