Hello @boltronics 👋

This will override the `list/posters-column` template. It’s probably better than override the `topic-list-item` template.

```xml
<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="list/posters-column.hbr">
  <td class='posters topic-list-data'>
  {{#if currentUser}}
    {{#each posters as |poster|}}
      {{#if poster.moreCount}}
        <a class="posters-more-count">{{poster.moreCount}}</a>
      {{else}}
        <a href="{{poster.user.path}}" data-user-card="{{poster.user.username}}" class="{{poster.extraClasses}}">{{avatar poster avatarTemplatePath="user.avatar_template" usernamePath="user.username" namePath="user.name" imageSize="small"}}</a>
      {{/if}}
    {{/each}}
  {{else}}
    {{#each posters as |poster|}}
      <div data-user-card="{{poster.user.username}}" class="{{poster.extraClasses}}">{{avatar poster avatarTemplatePath="user.avatar_template" usernamePath="user.username" namePath="user.name" imageSize="small"}}</div>
    {{/each}}
  {{/if}}
  </td>
</script>

```

And you have to add some CSS too because it target `a` and we want it to `div` for anon.

**Desktop / CSS**

```scss
html.anon {
  .topic-list {
    .posters {
      width: 146px;
      > div {
        float: left;
        margin-right: 4px;
        &:last-of-type {
          margin-right: 0;
        }
      }
      div:first-child .avatar.latest:not(.single) {
        box-shadow: 0 0 3px 1px rgba(var(--tertiary-rgb), 0.35);
        border: 1px solid rgba(var(--tertiary-rgb), 0.5);
        position: relative;
        left: -2px;
      }
    }
  }
}

```
