Who started it!

[Jim]

The person who starts a thread is known as the Original Poster, or for some, the Opening Poster. Either way, this is abbreviated to OP. I've just fixed it so the OP in a thread is marked by a small banner on their avatar saying....yes you've guessed it.. OP

 

[Richard n Ann]

Can't see it on my phone. Android 9 Samsung s8.

 

[Jim]

If I answer this post I should have it appear on my avatar

 

[Jim]

Yep there it is, you should be able to see it.

 

[catspyjamas]

I can see it!

No op banner on Android phone but it is actually showing on my Chromebook, but otherwise the site on Chromebook is really bad, has anyone else got one?

It looks fine on my Chromebook - it looks exactly the same as it does on Chrome on a laptop.

Yes I have the orange banner now but not on the avatar

 

[Jim]

Yes if your machine cannot show it on the avatar, I've placed it in the postbit

Have you got the lightning thingy or recent button?

 

[Jim]

Have you got the lightning thingy or recent button?

The lighting thingy only appears on machines with smaller screen sizes

 

[DangerMousy]

I can only find the lightening bolt/latest button on the main forum page, but if I'm viewing a thread I can click on the MHF icon in the top left it takes me to the same place.

However I am struggling to navigate after reading a thread. On most forums at the top of the thread there's a link back to the category the thread is in, but it seems the only way to get back to the previous page to look at other threads in the same category is to use the browser back button....which doesn't help when you've opened the thread in a new tab.

But with smaller screen size the forum logo stays on the header anyway, can you pin the forum log there on a big screen view next to 'Whats new"
