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

Ahh, I am using the air theme and need it for all versions not just mobile, thanks though!

Thanks @Moin I had just tried this also (Thanks for Sharing) Its doesn’t seem to work with the air theme.

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

Thanks @awesomerobot Really appreciate your help :slight_smile:

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!

Awesome thank you :slight_smile:

And apologies, we are new to discourse.
