We have some custom code to show the OP avatar on the mobile view. No complaints. Feel free to check it out at [www.helloforos.com](http://www.helloforos.com)

On the site homepage, it shows the category name below the post, but if you are in a category it displays the author’s name.

In a small community, I understand the idea of showing the latest reply avatar. In a large community with lots of activity, I find it’s helpful that the community see who originally wrote the topic as it is part of the decision of whether users want to enter or not. I believe it also provides better recognition to authors of quality content
