When viewing the admin comments page on the iPad, the names of commenters does not show

Admin comments page

.column-author is hidden if the screen width is 782px or less: tags/3.8/src/wp-admin/css/wp-admin.css#L12231​.

Introduced in [26134], appears to be the expected behaviour.

Expected behaviour? Oh that's a shame because not using a real name is the first thing to check when deciding if a comment will be spammed or not and without the name I can't moderate comments on the ipad properly.

I hope someone realises that the name of the person commenting is more important and needs to be shown, even a small screen!

[SergeyBiryukov]

Well, I would expect to always see the name too.

We could probably show it above the "Submitted on" string if there's not enough space for the column.

26618.patch​ illustrates the idea: 26618.after.png​.

Good suggestion Sergey, I hope it's in a point release. Thanks!

3.8.1 for consideration.

[nacin]

26618.diff​ carries over the .column-author styling, and gives it an extra 0.6em margin-bottom (which is the same as the margin between "Submitted on" and the comment below it).

The placement of all of this CSS does not seem ideal, but this otherwise seems good to me.

In 26961:

The comment screen hides the author column at narrow screen sizes; this adds back the author info above the comment content. Fixes #26618, props SergeyBiryukov, nacin.

Fixed for 3.8 in [26962].
