I like to use the Categories + Latest view, but I find confusing that the latest poster is so prominent in the right part, making it difficult to identify a topic’s author vs. a topic’s responder. Moreover, when you tend to browse-and-reply, you end up being the only avatar showing up on this page, which is not very informative besides “this user just posted”, and certainly not showing the diversity of responders.
Are there any existing discussions on that topic, which I did not find, or workarounds that may be applied to CSS or some theme component to address this issue?
