Hi all,
Is there a way or a setting whereas the OP will always be the profile picture by a topic and not the last replier?
Thanks Joe

We have a theme component that can do this for the default theme on mobile: [Show Original Poster Avatars](https://meta.discourse.org/t/show-original-poster-avatars/171346)

Ah ok, thanks for clarifying — in that case it would need to be a feature added to the theme

Hi Joe! Looks like this is a new feature in the air theme you are asking for. You could make a pull request to add it to the theme, or make a #Marketplace request if you’d like to pay someone to do it for you.
As a hosted customer you can also reach out to our team directly to ask for guidance that is personalized to your community. Look for the support link on your admin dashboard!
