    @Shanex is a stud! Volunteering is good. Taking on even more responsibility is even better. Cheers!

    Thanks @Todd for all your hard work and hours spent on this site. Without which I would have never met my brother from another mother @jzeilinger and of course @Knapp85 ! Two of my closest friends, not just in beer, but in life.

    So much knowledge has been shared and what is life if you're not learning?

    I miss your events page. It was so cool to see different beer events happening all over and it helped me find great stuff to travel and see.

    Thanks for the updates, Todd! Things look decidedly better on mobile and computer alike.

    One request: Could we get the navigation macro back on the home page (https://www.beeradvocate.com/) so that we don't need to enter one of the https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/... pages first to get at it? Those of us whose fingers seem to be in a constant battle with our smartphone screens would appreciate one fewer step to get to our favorite forum sections.

    Are you referring to the breadcrumb navigation that appears at the top and bottom of most pages?

    I'm guessing they are bundled, so yes. I'm specifically interested in the quick nav button on the far right of the breadcrumb nav (looks like an org chart icon).

    Not a big deal, just didn't know if it was an easy fix to drop it back on the home page near the top.

    Awesome, thank for this! Makes it much easier on mobile to dive in.

    I updated the post, but wanted to give a belated shoutout to @el_bobbo who officially joined the team as a Regional Mod for the New England forum.

    Of course this could strictly be an issue on my end - The main forum list displays fine for me, but when viewing any thread list, the avatars of the last poster only display as "?" rather than the profile image.

    ? should only be displayed if the user doesn't have an avatar. Also, last avatar won't be seen on mobile views.

    Feel free to send me a screenshot. Otherwise, try clearing your cache.

    None of the above are the issue. It's the same in Chrome and Safari. The "?" doesn't really matter to me, but if the issue is not on my end or not limited to me, then I thought you would want to know. Is anybody else getting this?

    I have the same behavior when using a desktop browser (Mozilla).

    Yes same for me. Avatars are seen on main page , are not seen on any threads.

    @zid @Jaycase @gatornation Thanks. I'm seeing the avatars on my end, but I'm able to replicated this when logged out and testing. I'm going to dig around and post an update once I figure it out.

    Everyone else: No need to report it. It's now a known issue.

    Thanks.

    Update: Looks like it's a permissions bug with an add-on that's possibly showing its age, so I've disabled displaying the last poster's avatar for now.

    This reduces the query count / load on the database, so it's probably for the best anyway.
