Could be possible to add a tag to thread starter in the active thread but others? it's very nice in long threads to know who started the discussion without having to go to the first post...

Maybe in this header...

Messenger Plus! Live Forums » General » Forum & Website » warmth » Thread starter tag

I think warmth meant adding a "Original Poster" tag( like the "Beta Tester" tag) to all the OP's reply in the thread. You wouldn't have to scroll all the way up the the page and would know which post is by the OP when you see it.

I don't like that... That part will get too crowded and people are used to seeing either a tester or translator sticker not an original poster sticker. I feel people will ignore it...

What if it was shown in brackets in the page title for instance "Messenger Plus! Live Forums - Thread starter tag (warmth)"

Definitely a good suggestion.

@Felu, I don't think that's what he meant...and I think he just means to see who started the thread.....what if they haven't replied on the page you're currently on?  Then you still won't know who started the thread

heh, i had the same idea some time ago and wrote this userscript to add "(OP)" to the OP's nick on each post.


edit: just noticed that it doesn't work if you use "threaded view" (one post per page with links to other posts beneath (example) - it'll just add "OP" to the name even though it's not the OP), but who uses that anyway

edit 2: small fix: wrong OP mark when you use a link to a specific post

edit 3: now works with threaded view. *click*

See, that 's why I love Chrome for allowing userscripts without needing another extension

Oh, and why I love you of course

Meh. Surely it's better to have it optional like Firefox?

Only difference is that Chrome install is ~143kb bigger because it's built-in, whereas Firefox's isn't.

It is optional, you don't have to install any scripts. [I know, you meant the scripts functionality, but why on Earth would you suggest to remove functionality...]
