Highlight original poster in threads

    Here's a new feature I'd like to see:

    When someone posts to a thread that they themselves had started, how about a little flag or icon or something by their name that shows that they are the original poster (aka. OP). It's so easy to loose track of who's who when reading a long thread, and I think this would really help.

    What do you think?

    Cryo.

    Valid suggestion. It helps to identify the thread starter amongst participants in the thread.

    I like the idea! Another forum (wont mention names [​IMG]) Uses something like that in the buy sell section. Makes it very nice to keep track of whats going on.

    It might be a good suggestion for those who dont read the thread and just go straight to posting after looking at the title.
    It might be a good idea though, I dont know i would say 50/50 :D

    Agree to this point, if somebody really wants to contribute, she or he has to read the first post, and if you are reading the first post, one can easily identify OP.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Great suggestion.

    Would really help people identify the OP when there is a big thread :)
    Shawn might reply something positive to this.

    An excellent suggestion! If implemented it will help track the original poster in long threads especially.
