"OP" meaning original post or original postER? Enough with the lazy abbreviations.

said by Willy :

Yes, as in the Reply OP button on the bottom of the page.

said by quatrix :

Yeah, more laziness there. "Reply [to] original post" and "Reply [to] original poster" both make sense there. And in computer/Internet terms, "op" is more associated with "operator".

2. Change background color of author posts the same (similar) way as you do for user posts. It will allow easy track (or filer if you will) author/initiator's posts of the thread among a big set of other replies, and therefore be more helpful to the author, while keeping the thread on its topic.

It could be something that we add to I See People that way, if you want to see it, you'll add something like %op to your code.

This way those who want it can have it, and those who don't, won't be forced to have it. It also won't be a huge, forum-wide change implemented on everyone.

What do you say to this idea?

*SIGN*

Adding it to I See People should make everybody happy, as those that don't want to see it, won't.
