When we open a forum/sub-forum, we see the names of the various topics with the name and time of the last post. Is there an option to include the name and time of the first post, too? Seeing who started the discussion and when it started can help separate similarly named topics, especially in the ID forums.

The last post information is on the right, the topic start information is on the left.

Or am I not understanding the question?

Here's a phone screenshot from the ID forum that helps explain what I'm referring to. It's on this page where the first post info is lacking, and could be helpful. We can see all the topics, but not who started them. Maybe it's just me, but I often revisit certain topics based on who started them and it'd be nice to see here., if possible.

The information is there, your phone just doesn't display it, for lack of space I guess. View the same page on a browser on a computer and you'll see what I mean.

I don't think I have any forum options to change how it displays on a phone.

I just have to rotate my phone and all the info is there. I should have thought of that. Sorry for the narrow minded brain fart.

It appears to be controlled by this line in responsive.css:

Code: Select all

@media (max-width: 700px) {
	.responsive-hide { display: none !important; }
Temporarily disabling that rule yields this, but I think it'd be a bit cluttered even if it displayed properly, and the first poster is a less important piece of information than the last poster.
