Icon to easily identify OP in long threads.

davetrousers

Could there be some type of icon that identifies the original poster in threads? Sometimes when you're reading long threads with lots of posts you can forget who the OP was and therefore not know if they're responding.

Maybe their username could be a different colour or size.

Thanks

that's a really good idea.

Anyone else?

Seriously mods could this be done?

we have this on a site i am a moderator, in the blogging section
so the OP's posts have a different coloured background in their posts



so blue is the OP

Does this section of the forum get read by mods etc?

So is my suggestion going to end up being ignored?

If it makes you happy, I've reported this thread. :rotfl: Don't take it personally, I 'liked' it when you first posted it.

I did say it wasn't an abuse report, just a request that they take a look.

Personally I think it's a cracking idea! I think I remember someone replying on a thread they'd started once without realising it WAS their thread! :rotfl:
