Continuing the discussion from [Show recipient/sender in PM list](https://meta.discourse.org/t/show-recipient-sender-in-pm-list/15397/4): In a regular topic, the title bar shows the context of that topic ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/4/4/4407b6559e1bf10db405f6c1fd9aeac2bb1883e3.png) But a PM shows no context ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/a/d/ad83569d50414d0d8045225a1539387b2eb9bd87.png) For that, you have to scroll to the first post and look at the topic map ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/3/e/3eed1cd9a40f0fcc407d54e6f31ba91b2c869f75.png) Why not show the participants there? ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/1/4/144b9a6ee58bfd7c59dd78c3c1c038f59ffe9033.png) (collapsing to just avatars in the case of a long list, with a drop-down ellipsis for a _really_ long list) ---

Well, there is room there since a topic cannot have categories, by definition. Not sure it’s totally necessary, after all, when reading an email you don’t see who it is “to” unless you are looking at the top? I guess that’s the closest analog. Perhaps it would make more sense to remind people of this **at the time of reply in the editor** rather than nagging them constantly about it in the docked top UI element. Dunno, your thoughts @sam? ---

I’d really like to have topic owner listed in topic lists. For the class-related stuff that I do, knowing who made the post is pretty important. People fairly often put their name in the subject (which bugs me lots more than it should). ---

That’s a separate request though, and it’s achievable with topic list customisations like this one: > [@Sam's Simple Theme](https://meta.discourse.org/t/sams-personal-minimal-topic-list-design/23552): > > discourse2Summary Sam’s Simple Theme creates a “minimal” topic list designeyeglassesPreview [Preview on Discourse Theme Creator](https://discourse.theme-creator.io/theme/Discourse/sams-simple-theme)hammer_and_wrenchRepository Link [https://github.com/discourse/discourse-simple-theme](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-simple-theme)open_bookNew to Discourse Themes?
