I hope I’m posting this in the right category.

Has anyone given a thought to perhaps moving the picture of the OP and the Category in front of the Topic?

When I’m filtering for “Latest,” I like to see who the first poster or the creator of the topic! This will helps me to determine if I want to enter the topic (or even read the topic).

This means the avatar shown for the topic will be identical for days, months, years later. On desktop you see up to 5 avatars per topic, and the first one is always the topic creator. I believe there are existing topics on this, though, so closing this in favor of keeping the discussion in one place.
