Show original poster avatars on mobile

theme
#1

This is a simple theme component that shows the profile picture of the original poster (OP) on the mobile topic list, rather than the latest reply.

I turned this into a component because it’s a common request, but keep in mind that this isn’t the default because it means the profile picture shown next to a topic will rarely change and could make your site look somewhat stale (to contrast, last poster updates often).

That’s exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for creating this.

This is neat! Thank you!

Is there a way to apply the theme on specific categories only?
