What about them? I'm probably missing something obvious here, but I don't get it at all.

It's intended to help us see who started the thread, especially when something's 4 or 5 pages into a discussion, by highlighting each of their posts with the "O.P." thing.  My point is though that by the time you've scrolled up looking for an almost invisible tag, you might as well have just clicked "First" at the bottom to be taken to the first post to see who started it, as it'd be much quicker.

The whole point of it was to avoid having to go back to the first post, so it's a time saving issue?  In which case the indicator needs to be clearer and needs to be always visible, not just visible on the pages on which the OP has replied?

I don't think it would be clear what the thing in brackets is (or whether it's actually part of the subject)... =p

Perhaps the bracket thing isn't the best idea....but there has to be some way of making it more obvious and having it show up regardless of the OP having made replies?
