Yep, definitively a good idea… @mattdm
The typical behavior is to take the avatar of the latest response.
Although we’re into the field of Web Development, a explain a bit, taken from there:
If you override a template (the
topic-list-itemfor example) and subsequent changes are made to that template in Discourse core, you need to make sure you update your template to make sure everything works as expected. Think of it like maintaining a fork on Github.
What do I suggest?
- +1 for Change this.
- Design TEAM has Task Force for a New Desing TEAM for both
sites, I suggest including this change there. - If there is something, which we can’t live without it, I can check out, but I prefer option 2.
- If we make a fork of the actual Theme we don’t receive any updates and we need to report to Desing TEAM too → double work.
Thoughts?
