Ok, every time I ask if we could have something, it turns out it's already there and I had missed it. However, I'm fairly sure that there's no way to know who's the Original Poster in a thread, without going back to the top of the first page and checking.

Seems to me this would be handy, as I frequently encounter situations where there's an argument or something and I can't remember who made the statement that we're nerdraging over in the first place. And if it's a big thread and I'm on page ten, it's annoying to have to jump back to page one.

On the thread listing, under the thread title, it says "by" followed by the OP's name.

I does the same in your, "My Subscribed Threads" listing.

I'm referring to if you're reading the thread.

And why is it so hard to just click Page one, go "huh, ok", then click Back in your browser?

Tip, right click Page 1 and select "open in new tab" from the menu, you can flick between the two without disruption to what you are writing

to be honest, while it would serve a purpose to display the OP's name on every page, it is probably not worth the effort of implementation.

I was more imagining the ops name being a different colour of something, but ok.
