Topic: Adding avatar to my miniportal index file

Can someone please help me out here. I am using the minportal and I would like to have the avatars show up to the right of the news on the index page. I've tried adding it from code taken out from the viewtopic but nothing seems to work. Here is my code for index.php.

<?php

    // Was a forum ID supplied?
    if ( $fid ) $forum_sql = 'f.id='.$fid.' AND ';
    $show = intval($show);
    if ($show < 1 || $show > $show_max_topics)
    $show = 15;
    $saveddate="";
    // Fetch $show topics
$result = $db->query('SELECT t.id, t.poster, t.subject, t.posted, t.last_post, t.num_replies, f.id AS fid, f.forum_name FROM '.$db_prefix.'topics AS t INNER JOIN '.$db_prefix.'forums AS f ON t.forum_id=f.id WHERE f.id='.$fid.' AND t.moved_to IS NULL ORDER BY '.$order_by.' DESC') or error('Unable to fetch topic list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());
