As Designed/Not a Bug Avatars Clickable in Conversations

This is just more of a consistency thing.

By default, avatars/quick reply avatars in threads and conversations are clickable, which bring up the member card. I noticed that in this style (and the last one as well, for that matter, for the quick reply ones) the clickability has been disabled in threads. However, avatars are still clickable in conversations. They shouldn't be for consistency.

 

Can't speak about the quick reply and thread view not having it, but the clickability in conversations is intentional. I'd assume that the reason /threads (and quick reply by extension) not having it is because the name is right there on top of the avatar, whereas in Conversations it's more of to the side in a place where, imo, people probably won't be paying attention to since the actual content your looking at is much closer to the avatar.

But Misty knows better than I do, so she'll have the proper explanation :b

 

All correct.
