The 6th participant was annoymous which disappeared when a member post. I am wondering if I can increase this number and if this is expected behavior.

Is this on a PM in the header or this?

If it’s the 1st, I believe the logic is here:

3

this is just in the topic list , I gave up on customizing the header participants. These replies are part of Discourse with no modification.

This list is about the topic’s featured users. I’m not sure if you can modify it. Perhaps you could, programmatically.

I am just wondering how many get displayed by default

I think you get up to 5 users. For example:

  • author of the first post, 3 frequent posters, author of the last post
  • author of the first and last post, 4 frequent posters
  • author of the first post, author of the solution, 2 frequent posters, author of the last post

or similar combinations. If the author of the first post is also the author of the last post there is the frame around their avatar

/* Reduce spacing between avatars */
td.posters.topic-list-data a {
  margin-right: 2px !important; /* Reduce gap between avatars */
  display: inline-block;
}

/* Remove any padding inside the cell */
td.posters.topic-list-data {
  white-space: nowrap !important;
  padding-left: 4px !important;
  padding-right: 4px !important;
}

/* Ensure avatars don't have extra spacing */
td.posters.topic-list-data .avatar {
  margin: 0 !important;
}

td.posters.topic-list-data,
th.topic-list-data.posters {
  min-width: 175px !important;
  width: 175px !important;
}

This fixed the wrapping issue, where the avatars were stacking on top of each other.
