As designed Article Author Field Inconsistency

[Ksentile]

Affected version

2.2.3 Patch 1

If the messages count and reaction score are disabled for the ordinary forum post user splash, then why should these show up on the article user splash? It's inconsistent design in my opinion and we should at least have the option to turn these off.

The article feature is really good, but it seems to lack adjustment possibilities for the author field. Therefore I also voted for this motion:

Choice to have article author "about blurb" shorter than the profile about

Having author "about blurb" under an article is great, but a lot of users like to have quite a bit of info in there on the profile. Often it's a bit too much under an article, especially with shorter articles it can get out of balance (see here...

The display of the article user info is deliberately expanded from what might normally be shown on a "standard" post. There's somewhat more similarity to the sort of information you might see here, for example:

Most messages

xenforo.com

So this is generally as designed. If options surrounding this are important to you, then I would recommend making a suggestion.

Alright, thank you Mike. There was a CSS display:none hack in the thread I linked which fit the bill for now.
