@neil does that make sense, to make site_contact_username the owner of these? But they’d get seeded pretty early, which means that value might not be set up correctly at the time Discourse is installed, too…
No that doesn’t make sense. When the db is created for the first time, those categories are created. Why is it annoying that the generic system user is the creator? If you want a custom avatar to appear there, you can impersonate the system user and upload a new avatar for it.
Moderators are creating some topics that I would want to move all to the system user later, and then assign it a custom avatar - actually the logo of our community website. So I’m the one who will use this feature if it is available.
Isn’t that the option to change owner of a post? I don’t know of any way to change the owner of the topic itself. That person’s avatar image still displays in things like /latest even if all the posts in the topic were changed to a new owner.
Hmm, some progress, but still strange: With latest code from today, it changes the first poster, but keeps the original author of the top post as “most recent poster” … even when the topic only has 1 post as the above example.
