Hey!

I’m not sure if that’s intended or not but i can’t find any info about that here on [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org). Basically, when i’m visiting my forum on a mobile device, “Active” topics page shows me, on the left side of a topic, avatar of a user who posted recently. And that’s great.

But! On desktop version, when browsing categories page (with active topics on the right), i can see the avatars of OPs instead of recent poster avatars.

I would rather see it working as on mobile version but i’m not sure if it’s a bug nor which behaviour is intended. Or maybe is that possible to configure it in admin panel?

Here is a live site with such problem: [https://forum.hard-core.pl](https://forum.hard-core.pl)

Thanks in advance.

Here on meta it seems to show the same avatars…

Desktop Categories View

Or are you referring to something else?

**Edit:**  
I see a [few commits](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/compare/58cb43884d134defcd44a0eed05e4f122b827f47...master) made from the version you are on that deal with avatars and the category list view, can you try going to /admin/upgrade, pulling down latest and verifying the issue still exists?

Here is how it looks on my side:

It’s not directly a difference between “Active” page on desktop and mobile but rather a difference between “Active” column on categories page and “Active” page itelf.

ps. I’m on the most recent version i think. Which is **v1.7.0.beta3 +19**

No, there are more. The link I provided in my post was showing you the commits that have occurred after +19. I just recently upgraded my sandbox and it reports +51 right now.

Ok, sorry. You’re right. I didn’t thought that there are any newer versions than discourse suggests me.

Anyway - i can’t see any commit related to my issue. I’m also not able to install the most recent version so i can’t check that manually. Anyway, that’s nothing critical to me, just thought that it’s a non-critical-but-still bug worth reporting.

If you think that’s gonna be fixed with the next beta release, that’s totally fine by me 😉

I think it might? As meta (here) should be exhibiting the same behavior if the bug still exists and I can’t reproduce it here.

Seems to be this commit that fixed it  
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/55fad7b3391f4096ab89ffd8e2037157b2316580](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/55fad7b3391f4096ab89ffd8e2037157b2316580)

Look at the changes for `latest-topic-list-item.hbs`

Note, you need all the following commits as well, lots of subtle issues
