I frequent forums at [https://forum.v1engineering.com/](https://forum.v1engineering.com/). That site just updated to 2.8 (I noticed the PM bubbles, so I am pretty sure that is the current version).
The other change many people noticed was that the areas with listed topics (like the `latest` view) now show a long preview of the post text. Some people are a bit annoyed by it ([Forum Topic View Settings - Random or Off Topic - V1E.com Forum](https://forum.v1engineering.com/t/forum-topic-view-settings/31297)). Is there a way to turn that off and go back to the previous view settings?
It definitely changed the same day as the PM bubbles showed up. But I didn’t see it in the release notes.

It seems to you using [Topic List Previews (TLP)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-list-previews-theme-component/209973). I suggest check the component settings and turn off topic excerpt.
`topic list excerpts topic lists`
and remove the `...-mobile` options where you don’t want to show the topic excerpt.

That was it. Ryan removed the settings for mobile, mostly and it’s like having a splinter removed. Thank you. Back to my old familiar ways.
