The discussion revolves around adding the last poster’s information to the assignment list in Discourse. ganncamp requests a feature to display the most recent poster in assigned topics, which would help staff determine if a user is still pending a response. sam suggests a temporary workaround using filters. ganncamp clarifies that the last reply information from the topic list would be ideal. awesomerobot confirms that a recent update to the plugin now includes this feature, showing the last poster in topic lists. ganncamp asks about deployment, and awesomerobot replies that the changes should appear on hosted sites within the next week.
When we look at a list of assigned topics, it shows title and some statistics, but not who’s participated in the thread, and - most importantly - not who the most recent poster is.
When we go through the assigned topic list in the interface, it would be much more efficient for us if we could see at a glance who the last poster on the topic was:
staff? Nothing to do; still waiting for the user to come back with the details we requested
user? Time to take another look and see what they came back with
I’m assuming this would be a theme component, but my searches aren’t finding anything. Does something already exist for this?
Edit:
Just to be super clear, here’s the current interface I’m talking about, with an idea of what I’m looking for:
Thanks for the response @sam. To be clear, I don’t want to see the assigned person’s avatar. Assignment is already clear.
I want the avatar of the last person to post - so we can tell at a glance whether or not we’re still waiting on the user in each particular thread
