Filtering Thread By Thread Author

[leefish]

well, I have a forum where some of the posts are coming from an automated bot - I cannot get the bot to add the required picture for the thread field - so it would be easier to have a conditional in the thread display that says IF this post is from this user id (the id of the bot) then add a different picture (hardcoded)

The thing is, I use this field in a lot of other areas of the board, so I don't really want to change it in the custom thread field - I need to do it in the template.
