Thread-Starter Hack ?

[omert]

hi,

I'm reading here in the board for months and everytime it is allways hard to follow a disscussion, because here is no topic-starter hack, I am very used to. It is very comfortable to see a mark on the user, who started the post beginning with his first reply. I've seen a lot of vB's with such a hack, so it seems not to be very difficult

Example?

e.G. http://board.ftpworld.org/showthread.php?threadid=31287

spawnkiller writes the 1st and the 3th post and in the 3th post you can see topic starter .

Sorry I didn't find an English board with such a hack, but as an example I think it is enough.

And here is the code for this hack, also in German

[hohoho]

if you need some translation, i'm german

 

[omert]

I'm German too, but as an example I wanted to have something English

P.S. Würde ich mich sonst auf deutschen Boards rumtreiben ?

I don't see why this would be at all necessary. Seems like a waste of a hack to me.

It is very handy, because you see who answers and who asks. There is no need to keep the topic starter in mind during readin the thread.
Yes of course a board can life without it, with no problems, but if you once have used it, you wlll admire it
