Create a new phrase in the category "Front-End Error Messages" titled "noicon", with the text "You must choose a post icon before posting a new thread."

Open includes/functions_newpost.php

Find:

Code:

	// check for subject/message
	if (($post['message'] == '' AND $vboptions['postminchars'] > 0) OR ($type == 'thread' AND empty($post['title'])))
	{
		eval('$errors[] = "' . fetch_phrase('nosubject', PHRASETYPEID_ERROR) . '";');
	}

Add Below:

Code:

	// check for post icon
	if ($type == 'thread' AND $post['iconid'] == 0)
	{
		eval('$errors[] = "' . fetch_phrase('noicon', PHRASETYPEID_ERROR) . '";');
	}

That's it. If you want to make it required on all posts instead of just new thread creation, change the phrase accordingly and add the following code instead:

Code:

	// check for post icon
	if ($post['iconid'] == 0)
	{
		eval('$errors[] = "' . fetch_phrase('noicon', PHRASETYPEID_ERROR) . '";');
	}
