Issue with byline_itemprop language string

[Gabriel Torres]

Hello,

Today I noticed that the byline_itemprop language string defaults to: By %s,

The presence of this comma causes a visual issue in topics, as the name of the author is incorrectly followed by a comma:

This comma, however, is used for separating the username from the date/time string in the topic list:

So, if we edit the byline_itemprop string to remove the comma, it fixes the issue in the topic, but create another issue in the topic list:

Here at invisioncommunity.com, I noticed that this language string was edited and the comma was removed, so the username isn't followed by a comma in topics, but the username and the date/time are not separated by a comma in the topic list.

Proposed solution: add a new language string that defaults to By %s (without a comma) and use this new language string in the forums > front > topics > topic template.

I know this is a very silly visual bug, but I had to mention it.

Cheers,

Gabe.

Quick follow up: there is already a language string that could be used in the topic template instead: byline_nodate

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! I can confirm this should be further reviewed and I have logged an internal bug report for our development team to investigate and address as necessary, in a future maintenance release.
