Thanks for implementing my suggestion.
No problem. I credited your thread in the initial post. I'm pretty sure this suggestion has come up multiple times (Welsh seems to agree), but I couldn't find older topics about it.
However by making it in BOLD it would have been more easier when skimming through the thread just to see only OP posts.
I think the style theymos chose is fine. Knowing that a given post was made by OP is a nice bit of context, but it's not crucial information, so I don't think it should go out of its way to draw attention to itself.
We can try it as an experiment and see the feedback.
Forum changes get implemented so rarely around here, that I think we should just be grateful that theymos signed off on this one and not push our luck. I don't want to bug him with a patch for an inconsequential formatting tweak.
also i had suggested another feature where you would click a down or up arrow in the post message to jump to next post of the specific user in that thread.
Yep, I've seen that one. I've only considered it superficially but knowing what I now know about SMF (which is not all that much, I'm still learning the codebase), implementing this feature would be technically quite "ugly" as it'll involve running a new SQL query for each post, each time it's rendered. I'm not sure if this suggestion is useful enough to warrant the additional DB load it'll cause. I guess if there are more than a few long-time members that chime in with support for this idea, I'll look into it more deeply and see if I can find a way to implement it elegantly.
