Random post from specific topic

[alving]

i like this code!  thanks!  a bit of a request if this is possible to do. 

is it possible to display the avatar and username (which is linked to its profile) of the author of the specific topic or thread everytime the random post is displayed?

and how do i edit the code so that the "MORE" text is underneath the poster name instead of besides it.  all of them aligned to the center.

this is what it would look like in a sidebar

Avatar of author or thread starter
Username (linked to profile)
Random post in that topic
Poster name (same format, linked to profile)
More (same, linked to the specific post)

obviously, i don't have any knowledge of php  so please help 

thanks in advance!

Assuming this is the code for printing out the post:

Code Select Expand


echo '<div style="text-align: center; width: 150px; height: 200px; overflow: auto;" >' . $row['body'] . '<br />';


use

Code Select Expand


echo '<div style="text-align: center; width: 150px; height: 200px; overflow: auto;" ><img src="http://www.url/to/image.jpg">' . $row['body'] . '<br />';
