AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around the Hide Users Column theme component, an official Discourse plugin that removes the Users column from the Latest and Top pages. It is hosted on GitHub and can be installed via the Discourse Theme Creator. The component is supported on Standard, Business, and Enterprise plans. Users are encouraged to report issues or suggest improvements in the appropriate Meta categories, tagged with hide-users-column. A visual comparison shows the component’s effect: the Users column is hidden from the topic list. However, users have noted issues: when the Topic list previews component is active, thumbnails may also be hidden, which can be resolved with custom CSS (topic-list .posters { display: none; }). This fix works on desktop but not on mobile. Additionally, a deprecation warning in Discourse 3.3.0 mentions the totalUnread property being deprecated. Some users, like Andrew_Rowe, suggest that the component would be more useful if it could be configured per category.

If ‘Topic list previews’ theme-component is installed ‘Hide Users Column’ hides the topic thumbnails, I just used in common:

.topic-list .posters { display: none; }

Seems to work.

This component would be much more useful if it could be configured for individual categories IMHO
