My coworker asked me about the blue ring around someone’s picture. How should I explain this feature and how its helpful to community members? They were just wondering what it means.
Thanks!

Original poster - Topic creator / first poster. (First avatar in the users list)
Most recent poster - Recent replier / last poster in the topic. (Last avatar in the users list normally)
When Original poster and Most recent poster are same then instead of displaying the same avatar twice in both first and last places it will be displayed in the first place with blue ring. So it simply means the topic creator is the last replier.

It’s superior to duplicating the avatar twice, I’ll tell you that. Duplication is noisy.

Hi.
Can someone explain, which configuration option defines to show the most recent poster avatar as the last in the users list? I Couldn’t find how to configure it.

Nothing. That is how it works by default.
