Oh what you mean is an equivalent to the VBulletin “Post Icon” feature:

@Graham_Lees in Discourse the equivalent feature are the topic tags, which can cover the same use cases and also have a bunch of extra goodies. You can use [Tag Icons](https://meta.discourse.org/t/tag-icons-component/109757) to add icons to your tags too.
