I just pushed an update to the mobile styles that takes care of that.

The [Topic List Excerpts](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-list-excerpts/151520) component has [a bug](https://meta.discourse.org/t/information-about-pinned-topic-is-not-updated-when-using-new-unread-topics-banner/303928/2) so I added a new option here to **show topic excerpts** so that component is not needed.

hey, is this theme component leaving any leaving any residual when it’s uninstalled?
i"m having issuess with “Topic list excerpt” now. As it’s shows much more text, it shows the avatars this way:
but I’m not sure if there is any conflict with your plugin/ theme component

I’m not seeing that, so let me know what you are using and I’ll try to reproduce:
- Web Browser
- Theme
- Any other theme components?
- Have you made any custom CSS changes/additions?

Thank you for your help. I’m using Chrome, the default theme, and 5 or 6 theme components. I’ve already uninstalled them one by one, but it works perfectly if I disable topic excerpts or enable [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true).
I have some CSS codes for the logo and 2 or 3 things for the mobile view. I’ve already tested without them, but I’m having the same problem, as you can see here: [https://forumjogos.com.br](https://forumjogos.com.br)
You can try to reproduce it by installing your plugin + TC, uninstalling it, and then installing the topic list excerpt back.

Looks like a problem with [this topic](https://forumjogos.com.br/t/bailao-otaku/398), where part of a url results in an excerpt with a long unbroken line:
`ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1793429561969193338|twgr^|twcon^s1_&ref_url=`
Discourse is not removing the url from the excerpt and there is no max-width on the column so the `word-wrap: break-word;` doesn’t apply.
You might be able to fix this by adding this CSS which seems to force the long line to break even without a max-width:
```plaintext
.topic-list .topic-excerpt span {
overflow-wrap: anywhere;
}
```
(My theme component also has a `single line` setting which would avoid this issue)

Ohh thank you very much. Very kind of you. Its working fine now and it was not a problem in your side.
Thats weird how a topic can break things. I tried so many solutions to try fixing it
Thanks again

I have installed this component, also set it for “default” theme, but I don’t see Latest Post appear
You can check the component again

Thank you, I have checked the topic and installed the plugin before, it is working now, if there is any problem, I hope everyone can help me later.

I’m also looking for a way so that when people click on the reply content (from the home page), the opened topic moves to the reply post, not the post of the topic creator.

It would move to the reply if you have read the topic before. I suppose the excerpt could be a link to the most recent post.
