Any chance of displaying thumbnails in images in the topics list, such as the way that [Swaylock’s](http://www.swaylocks.com/) does it on their homepage (not actually for forum topics, but seems kind of neat.

See a screenshot of it in action here: Screenshot here: [[Imgur] ](https://imgur.com/SltBEKN) This doesn’t handle displaying images in lightboxes, instead it wraps the existing Discourse lightboxing that occurs on images. You can customize the size the images get scaled down to. Usage is like this: [image-gallery] \<img src="whatever" /\> \<img src="whatever" /\> [/image-gallery] Re…

The Topic List Previews plugin might be what you need:
