Low priority: Request for "Topic Author" next to username

Hi guys,

I’m sure you’re not very busy these days :wink: , so I thought I’d throw this suggestion out there.*

In the consumer-facing forums, there is a badge or flair or something next to your name on all posts in a thread where you are the topic author. So if I create a thread and reply in that thread two more times, then for all three postings, I will see this next to my name:

It can be very helpful when you jump into the middle of a thread to see a post and understand that they’re the OP. It’s also nice to have a consistent experience between the two forums.

Unfortunately, I don’t how exactly this is done. If they’re using a theme component, I can’t find it.

* In all seriousness, please take your time with this. I’ve been wanting to ask this for months, but I wanted to wait until things cooled down a little bit. Might be a while until that happens, so I wanted to put it out there before I forget.

Hi @N316TS

That’s a great idea!

Obviously, we don’t have much time, but I managed to make the update during my coffee break :slight_smile:

Regards,
Boris
