Suggestion: OP flag

[cmbarona]

Just a quick suggestion regarding forum layout: Add a flag in each thread that indicates posts by the Original Poster as such. Especially in longer threads, this small bit of info can really help me discuss the original conversation topic.

Thoughts?

Any idea if vBulletin can do this automatically? We're unlikely to try and hack it for something like this, although it'd be a useful feature.

Last time I used vBulletin on my sites, no, that was not an included feature (that was pre 3.8 though, which is currently being used here).

With that said, I went and browsed (briefly) and searched the mod forums on vbulletin.org to see if I could find something and I could not - which is sad because I really would like to see this here as well.


*UPDATE*

I found the following in the suggestions section at vbulletin.com in response to just such a request...

Basically someone responded with a line of code that could be used to achieve this result - i tried (using the code box) to post it here, but it killed a bunch of the code, hence the link to the post instead.

weem, I've tried inserting that line of code. I don't know if it'll work, but it's worth a try and only took 10 seconds or so!

 

[Morrus]

Nope. Didn't work, I'm afraid!

Oh well, worth a try thanks - would be nice though
