Original Poster Tag

I was reading a thread today and several times the OP replied in a way that did't make it clear that he was, indeed, the OP. Had it been clear, I and other responders might have taken the thread in a different direction. This is especially difficult when you're three or four pages into the thread.

I was thinking that there must be a way for IRV2 and Winnieowners to add a flag so that subsequent replies by the OP are flagged as such.

There isn't a way to flag this. Going to the 1st post in a thread will clue you into who the OP is (laptop/desktop)

There is great need for a sarcasm font.

As Lori mentioned in the browser there is not really a designation and may be a limit with the software. The app does show an icon designating the OP through out the thread.

Thanks, I've never used the app since I view this on my laptop via Chrome but that's what I was hoping for on the browser version.

I agree with what Bcam is saying and I too believe it would be helpful.

I've observed other vBulletin forums that have the "original poster" designation each time the OP posts in that particular thread. Therefore, there must be the option somewhere in the administrator's control panel that "may" allow that to be done on this forum too.

As an example, a very popular and busy forum (City Data) that uses vBulletin software utilizes that feature. Notice where each post by the OP will have this designation?:

An example of a thread from that forum that uses VBulletin software

Can we get you folks to dig into the control panel a little deeper to see if perhaps that particular feature can be used here?




ETA: Disregard ...I now notice that City-Data may no longer use VBulletin. They once did but now I'm not sure as I no longer see evidence of VBulletin on their reference pages.

The OP Tag isn't native to our version of vBulletin so some custom coding would be needed.

Now that I do specifically note what forums do use the OP icon in threads, none seem to be using vbulletin. I initially thought that I did observe some vbulletin forums using it but I was mistaken. My apologies.
