    Fully agree - I hate having to go back to page 1 or even scroll up the page to find out who the OP was.

    I've long thought this was an important missing feature.

    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:

    Did they slag themselves off unknowingly?:rotfl:

    I quite like this idea. It can get very confusing at times.

    I can't remember what they said. It was still quite amusing, one of those looooong ones on the Families board where if you only read what's been posted since your last visit it can be very difficult to keep track of where it started! :rotfl: they did realise, btw, just replied before they'd realised IYSWIM.

    Just hoping I've never done the same!

    I think you may be right!

    Why have a suggestions area of the forum if it's going to be ignored?

    Indeed, even if a mod posted on here saying "thanks for your suggestion but get stuffed" at least I'd know it had been read!
