I make mental note of the OP's name at the start. Now if you have memory problems that may be an issue.

 

In other words, many of us are toast, relatively speaking.

 

Maybe i'm missing something, but the first poster in the thread is the OP.

 

What's this thread about…..

 

OP

A way of indicating who the original poster is, and, whether they have stopped responding,

- SMP

Once you get to this message that I'm posting now, the first post has scrolled off the top of screen and you can no longer glance up and see who is the OP. Is it me? Better scroll back up and look… I'll wait…

Nope. Not me. But you can see when Robert responded previously, he started his post with "OP" indicating that he is the OP of this thread. That way you always know when the OP is responding.

Not a big deal for me. I always browse on a desktop PC and scrolling is pretty easy with the mouse wheel.

 

There is no need to scroll up to see the OP, at least with Firefox. Just hover your cursor over the LJ tab:

 

Interesting! Works on Chrome, too.

It comes from being basically lazy. You might understand.

Well now you'll be responsible for my weaker/fatter right wrist. It used to get plenty of exercise scrolling to the top, to looksee, then scrolling back. Now I just need a quick swipe, jeesh this will mean at least 2 weeks a year at the flabby wrist farm, trying to get it back into shape.

Honest, didn't know this

Thanks Chuck.

DING DING DING we have a winner!!!!

 

That works great! Thank you!

 

It doesn't work on my computer (Chrome on Windows 10)
The LJ tab doesn't remain visible when I scroll down.

 

Sylvain. Put your mouse on the URL marker at the very top of your screen. It remains constant and just the page itself scrolls down.

Statements like that may require you to turn in your LJ card!

 

Should look like this when you hover syvain - what is at top of your browser window?

 

if i remember what or who the OP comment was i might make a non relevant comment and then get blasted by the ''mob'', hehe, and where is this going

I agree 100% with the OP. Now if I could only remember who that was. I have often had the same thought. Most forums indicate this, and you would think it would be simple to do. I'm usually viewing this forum on an iPad, so the hover trick doesn't work.

LOVE IT! I wouldn't have noticed that. Thanks!

Having said that, I still have to agree with OP that it would be nice if the system itself could just highlight the name or put "OP" or something like that next to their name when they post replies. I'm all about saving as much movement as possible. i.e. - I'm lazy!

 

OP, I can't remember what your question was, could you repeat it?

JK ;-)

 

Thank you therealSteveN and MikeB-UK
