This is great, thank you! Is there a reason that it’s mobile-only? I’d like to have the same thing for desktop mode.

With that said, now that I’ve installed this component and seen the theming system in context (it’s very slick!), I think I could work out how to make a custom version which does desktop + mobile.

I also have the same question as @hhlp and @joellabes. Love this on Mobile and wish it worked on Desktop too. Is that a difficult change?

@joellabes said he already got it working locally … Joel, any chance I could entice you to make a PR for the upstream repo? :innocent: :heart:

Hi @petermarkley, :wave: if you’re interested, my Topic List Author theme component does this for both desktop and mobile, and also adds options for author column placement.

I only said I thought I would be able to work it out - I never actually did anything. Glad that Lilly has got you covered!
