Clear your cache if it looks like the user name, should be in a label of sorts.

Aslo just a heads up to users using themes that are not the default (darkside...), these themes arn't supported so not everything is visible on these themes.

You already know you are the OP, so everyone else won't have that problem ;)
Im not sure if everyone has that problem or not. Maybe quick replies are not seen with OP until you Ctrl+F5. Thats why Im commenting on it :)

Alright, I added something just to see how this works out. So it is possible to do it without any modifications. Will see what Neobond thinks of the idea, and if he's no fan, will remove it. Might be confusing to users so don't know myself.


I like it.

I welcome the change, although the icon is a little off in its current implementation (as of writing this).

Users of a tech forum confused by such a graphic on a poster's name should really consider whether their membership has anything to do with what they are good at.

Not saying only advanced computer users join us, but seriously, this is a tech forum and average peeps around here probably have enough of logical thinking to get a clue what it means.

I think it's a great idea.

But i fear that when warwagon and turion will see OP right beside their name in the joke forum they might actually think they are over powered.

Sweet. It looks great on the Darkside theme. Not too flashy, just enough to be an indicator. Good job!

I believe that at the top of each thread it says who started the topic.

It's still a pretty good idea mind you.

edit: Seems it was added without me noticing. I'll check it out later. Mobile site didn't display how many pages the thread had (or I didn't see it).

Maybe it could be put in brackets or something, as it is the OP looks like it is part of the username..

As said a couple times, you just need to refresh/clear your cache. It's actually more like a badge.
