Hello everyone. Prompted by a member suggestion, there is now an indication on the Avatar of whoever has started a thread. It looks like this:

Hope you like it!

I installed it. Looks a bit bland to me but try it. Go to the bottom of the page and click on the Forum Style and select "XF2 Default Dark."

In long threads it is easy to forget who started a thread. It is a way for the original poster to stand out and give him some authority over where the thread is going. I have seen it used in a few forums and I appreciate it.

Wow, had no idea this existed, thanks a lot for mentioning it! The default style is quite bright and definitely puts a bit of a strain on the eyes in a dark room.

I definitely agree, and it's quite subtle as well so I can't really see it being that distracting.

I‘ve already recognised it and thought: Wait... was this always there?

Great work, it is good to know who started the thread.

 

[nm4711]

Nearly everyone in this thread has a green bit. We did not all start the thread .

So it's just anyone who at some point started a thread somewhere on ASR . That's pointless and annoying.

This means you are online.

Ah .. lol .

I need to get back to work .

Though I'm not a massive fan of that ' online' thing either .

The OP thing is a good idea

First I thought you were just trolling, as you do it sometimes, when amirm posts something.

But after there were two posts in a row I thought nah, this is meant serious.

It's optional (theoretically)

Thats my issue , I can for example see you have a green ' online ' triangle while I know you ' hide' your presence.

Can this be made to work on the mobile view?

You da man! This is great for me to catch up on the goings on here before bed without blinding my SO with white light and disturbing her sleep.

Best part is, if it isn’t for you, no biggie, just use one of the other themes.

I like the dark setting ..

 

[Soniclife]

I like it dark on my phone, not so keen on my desktop. Is there a way to have one setting per device?
