Giving a tag to the thread creator

[iFlameyz (Flameyz)]

Hey!

I’ve reading through some forums, and sometimes I get confused on who made the topic,
Now of course you could just scroll up and see the Name of the author who made the topic, but I personally think this will help some people and the looks of the forums aswell.

In the example above, It would be really nice to add like Topic Creator sign (where the red arrows point at)

I don’t see why it shouldn’t be added so I hope someone sees this!

You should probably make your title more descriptive.

Highlighting the creator of a topic in a thread

I think it would be a good idea if the creator of a topic had their replies in that topic highlighted. This would make following along with replies in a topic easier, especially in categories like Recruitment. The topic’s creator’s username could be a different color, or be in larger font.

But there is already a way to do it kinda with css.

I do personally agree there should be some sort of tag or indicator of who started the thread in question, yes.

This doesn’t work with previewed replies, since Discourse doesn’t show the same metadata for topic owners in replies. You can patch it to not include any replies, but that leaves out replies by OP.

"patch"

.reply {
    --hide-replies: hidden;
}

.topic-post.topic-owner .names::after {
    content: "OP";
    color: #FF0000;
    padding: 0 5px;
    font-size: .875em;
    border: .75px solid;
    border-radius: 7.5px;
    align-self: flex-end;
    visibility: var(--hide-replies)
}

Classes included in reply previews vs the actual posts:

Oh okay, but maybe they can work out something you never know

If they wanted to add it to the site officially, they absolutely could. This is just referring to the unofficial CSS mod that incapaz suggested.
