"Original Poster"

[Podie]

What's all this about then...?

[Bungleaio]

Just noticed it. Seems an excellent idea. You can easily tell who opened the thread.

Well done to whoever thought of it

[PetrolTed]

It was a feature requested last week.

Whats the point of it?

Surely you just look at the first post in the thread anyway to see who the original poster is.

True, but it helps on some of the marathon threads.

I like that!

Rhetorical question - if someone shouts "repost" afterwards, is it taken away?

Maybe it gets updated to "Unorignal poster"?

Yes once you are beyond page 1 it makes sense

I'm missing a trick here so can we hurry up and get to page 2 on this thread so that I can see how this works...

Last week?

I requested it months ago!! Cheeky beggar

[Podie]

Doesn't seem particularly useful IMO but I read a thread all the way through anyway.

Each to their own...

[im]

I get it! I get it!

The words 'Original Poster' continue to be shown on all postings that person makes in the thread...

Doh!

I thought the words just showed on the FIRST post on the thread...

Ok, now I agree - probably worth doing.

Pretty pointless thing. People have got to be pretty stupid not to notice who the original poster of a thread was.

And what about on 70+ page threads where you start skimming past the troll and chav comments?

Still doesn't make any real relevance who started the thread. And if I did actually want to know I'd just go to the first page. Not that it would matter at all.

I think it's very relevant knowing if a particular post is by the OP, and if it saves me having to click to the 1st page and back again, then

Come on Polarbear, why complain, even if you don't think it's useful (I do) what harm is it?

[Flawed]

page 2? to see if makes more sense?

EDIT: Damn it - not page 2 yet!
