Well, I don't see how that should be a problem. They will all get around it, one way or the other. After all, we still have veteran members here who don't understand what CFNP on campaign threads means; even when those letters hang there in capital letters.

On the new development, I observed it today; just a while ago. I like the chosen style - B. It's kind of silent, yet you know it's there. At least, we get to find out at a glance who an OP is if we stumbled on their comments midway. @PowerGlove, you've shown the programmer in you. Keep it up.

It's not going to be a big problem because theymos added an explanation field to the word "OP". Hover your mouse over it and it explains that OP is the person who started the thread. We might still see the occasional question pop up here and there, especially for those who aren't active in Meta and/or haven't seen this particular thread, but eventually everyone will get used to it.

Great addition! Thanks to those that made it happen.

Regardless of the fact that I expect anyone who's lost stumbling on new words to search them out, I believe most people here will know what OP means. It's often used (I use it often, and I've seen a lot of others use it too). About the mouse–hovering thing, you ought to know that not everyone here makes use of desktops and PCs to make posts. Mobil phone users are plenteous here too and that facility isn't available to them 🤔. I speak for myself anyway.

Definitely, of course. We learn everyday.

Really good news and a really good aditament for the forum, this can help so much when we are in some threads where are so long and we lose who its the OP.
Today when i see the new one thing, i really like.

Thanks to the OP  to make this possible, and the forum to implementing this, and make with that more people can encouragement to make other good things to this forum.

Nicely done @PowerGlove. It gives me great pleasure to note that, our suggestions here are not layed to waste and even with pending approval on its validity, we still have those with the programmable knowledge and time to be doing some forum edition works on the sidelines. It's very encouraging and I think this is one of the best ways to be going about some supported suggestions that proves to be valid in the long run in contrast to living it all in the hands of Theymos although, we've got to ensure there are no bugs to it.

I can see clear the notation (OP) written clearly with your user as the starter of the thread just as I find in Style B which means, one of your designs have been chosen already if am not mistaken. So the forum isn't stagnated at last, good one.

And it turns out that the OP's suggestion for the forum about identifying topic creators and replies was actually adopted. I only realized now after looking at a few different threads, there's a (OP) sign next to the name of the thread creator, and it's really nice in my opinion.

PowerGlove, you are really worthy here, this is what is called one of the real contributions to the forum. I think theymos will also consider other unique features in the future for this forum especially if it's harmless. I would like to see 2FA security features adopted in the future.

Good job, PowerGlove.  I just assumed this was an update to the Bpip extension when I first saw it.  Thanks for the contribution.

There will likely still be questions from time to time, but I think having the explanation on hover is the best way to go about it, especially when it doesn't take practically any additional resources, and was simple to add. However, abbreviations in general are a pet peeve of mine, unless they've previously been explained. I do fall into that trap myself at times, but when you've got a wide audience, you should generally be clarifying what the abbreviation stands for.

Especially when it comes to the functionality of something. It's just good practice to do so.

Nice job powerGlove. This contribution looks small but it really makes a lot of difference. You helped in identifying the challenge, sought the solution, found it, and help to enforce or implement it. This is an uncommon feat that is very outstanding. This contribution would be remembered by members in many years to come. Also this is one of the fastest changes that I have seen in this forum. Just few days after its proposal, Theymos implemented it. This is a proof that it is very innovative and would be generally accepted. More wins powerGlove and the entire Bitcointalk community.
