Default This Mite Be a Nice Touch

I saw this on a different forum and I think it would be great to help keep topics on topic and help the original poster get more help. It makes the OP's name bold and labels him as the thread starter, only in the threads that person has started of course and not in the first post of the thread. I think this picture pretty much sums it up.

I use my sig when scrolling to easily identify my posts...either that or the red user name.

Good suggestion.

I meant it would make it easier for other people to help the OP. Lot's of times people will hijack the thread and once your halfway down the page you forget who you were supposed to be helping.

I understood your point. I would hope that people are reading threads
from the beginning...so they would know who the OP is. I know that people
don't to that though.

Again, it's a good suggestion.
