Admin and MOD's

Is there any chance that the VB-Forums add-on could be used to identify the thread starter, to save scrolling all the way back to the first post in long threads?

Here's and example on another forum that I frequent - RC Helicopters.

Thread Starter

There's already a "thread starter"...it's under the title of the thread. If that's what you mean.

 

No, I didn't explain myself too well - when viewing threads with multiple pages there no way of checking when the original poster responds within the thread - the only way to check is to go back to the first post/page.
Here's and example where the OP (DK Custom) responds in a long thread, but there's no way of telling that he's the OP.

Not a big issue, just a minor enhancement.

A little more info on this feature: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt...=244238&page=5

 

I have forwarded this to my bosses to see if it can be done.

 

Thanks Terry.

Terry how's your boss getting on with this?

 

Ron,

The Thread Starter aka OP is shown under the thread title in the respective section:



To add the feature you're referring to a Tech Staff decision like Terry already mentioned.

 

The thread starter tag that I was referring to is on each of the posts further down a multi-page thread where the OP makes additional posts, he has the "thread starter" tag, so at least that way you don't have to go back out to the original post to confirm.

Here's an example - 24v is the OP, but as can be seen on page 202 there's no way of telling.

Any update on this?

 

Is this useful add-on still being considered, or has the idea been scrapped?

 

Don't know.
