Suggestion - Designate who the OP is throughout the whole thread.

[nglayton]

I've seen this on other discussion forums....

If I start a thread, right next to my name it will show [OP]. It's Stands for Original Post or Poster.

On all subsequent posts I make to that thread I started, it puts the same [OP] designation next to my name.

After about 7-10 posts in any particular thread it's really helpful for following along.
It helps everyone know if the [OP] makes addition points or comments, questions and even if they solved the original issue, etc.

The way it is now, I find my self scrolling to the top of every thread, try to memorize who the OP is and then scroll back down to finish reading.

Agreed, this would be helpful, especially when a post goes to the second page or more.

I like it. It would also be nice in threads that have pages of posts on a side topic.
