Lack of dual status on topics page
-
So, apparently users can no longer have multiple roles in the user list on the topic page, with the exception of being OP and most recent poster. Take this screenshot for instance:
In both of those topics, I was the most recent poster at the time the image was captured. Also, in the Likes topic I am the 2nd most frequent poster (I've been in the top 2 for weeks) and in Discourse 1.0 I was also the second most frequent poster at the time of the the screen cap. Both rankings are shown below:
Yay for Dicsourse removing features!

I'm not sure if it ever has been other than that. I can't recall seeing the same avatar twice next to a post in the topic list...
-
Yeah, it's my memory that this has been the case for a long time.

I remember that it used to be something like this:
Where the blue indicator for most recent poster moved if needed to indicate that a person has multiple statuses in the topic. Also the tooltips now only indicate a single status for anyone other than the OP. You can either be a "Frequent Poster" or the "Most Recent Poster". It used to be that you could see both statuses in your tooltip.

This. I take it you're saying it doesn't do this any more.
Hm, I wasn't paying attention, but scrolling through the current list, I see this only where the OP is also the most recent; otherwise, it is always the rightmost avatar that has the blue border.

Exactly. If you are a frequent poster and the most recent poster, you are only listed as the most recent, and someone else gets your frequent poster glory.

That's not the same as this then?
-
Original Poster is the exception.

If you are a frequent poster and the most recent poster, you are only listed as the most recent, and someone else gets your frequent poster glory.
When you put it like that, I think that may have always been the case. Not sure, though.
-
No, it used to be that the blue highlight would move to the different frequent poster positions, so that you could be both a frequent poster and the most recent poster.
-
Just skimming the most recent posts, I couldn't find one that had "most frequent poster" I actually thought that the avatars were the last 5 posters, or maybe the first one and last up to 5, depending on how many posts there were.
-
"Most frequent poster" is the first (leftmost) "frequent poster".
-
Also, that seems like it makes the blue highlight fairly useless, because it seems like it just shows "most recent", which means it's always on the rightmost icon, unless the most recent poster is OP, in which case the highlight's all the way to the left.
I would swear that as recently as a few days ago the highlight would sometimes be on one of the three middle icons, but at that point I didn't know you could hover over it.
-
As far as I'm aware, they got rid of the tooltip saying "Most Frequent Poster", and now it just says "Frequent Poster" for the non-highlighted avatars.
-
How the fuck do you guys divine literally anything from the poster list? That shit is broken beyond belief.
-
I use it to preview how my avatar looks when shrunk down really tiny.
I think that's probably all it's good for.
-
Well, it used to work better. But Jeff & Co. can't leave anything functional alone. Probably because it isn't ready for "10 years from now".
-
I assume it's just a vanity thing.
-
And for the e-peen factor.
-
That's pretty much what he just said.

Meme averted!
