For our forum (watch based) images are a key content feature and it would be ideal if in the listing page that you could see if the thread contained images. I know that this might be a very specific request but would be a key feature for sure.

This is being discussed here:
> [@Reddit Style picture thumbnail on the left](https://meta.discourse.org/t/reddit-style-picture-thumbnail-on-the-left/13089):
>
> I would like discourse to have this feature : On the left hand side of each post , there is a thumbnail showing the 1st uploaded / linked picture. The thumbnail doesn’t need to be large, for example Reddit is just using a 70px size thumbnail. This can let readers get more interested by have a sneak preview of what’s inside the thread by attractive graphics. ( Of course, this should be set as an option, so any admin who doesn’t like this function can enable / disable at will )

Yes very close but I’m not looking for the actual image being shown more just the fact that the thread contains images.

More akin to email, where a paperclip usually indicates “this message has an attachment”. But that happens at the individual email message level and also does not happen for images.

Yes that is what I would be looking for. I know that it is an edge case based on the content of the forum and the last time I saw this feature it was just showing that icon for the first post in the thread and not dynamic based on addition posts to it.
