Add a "Thread starter indicator" (1 Viewer)

[AHeyne]

Hi all,
in some forums around the web there is an indicator in postings of threads (similar to the `Staff member' badge), stating that the user is the thread starter.
I like this badge because I can instantly see if a posting is from the starter of the thread or not, especially in longer threads with many postings there is a benefit in this.

There is a XenForo Add-on for that purpose I found, but maybe this is meanwhile implemented into XenForo itself and must only be activated?

Would there be any interest to implement this indicator here also?

Edit: Seems I can't post links, so here it is: Link Updated by UG

Jeez, I had to look hard to see where the indicator was?
I can see that clashing with some avatars?

I can post links however

This Add-On supports different ways of making the indicator visible.
I would prefer this one (marked red):

That is a lot better.

Not compatible with current version of the forums.

Maybe with some fiddling and usage of this?

There are too many other priorities to deal with for the foreseeable future, but your comments all go into the melting pot.

Oh, you upgraded the forum software, first step done.
