    Hi, is it possible to make posts that the OP makes stand out more? I thinks it better when you're looking at a vehicle thread, to let you know if there's fixes or updates to the project. Maybe you can just bolden the username like reddit does? Thanks for reading.

    I like this idea a lot. I've been on forums that have a flashy title under the name, "thread starter" or something like that, and it really helps when you're looking for an update or such.

    I often see forums that just stick "Thread Starter" under the avatar where we currently stick location and the BeamNG badge etc.

    yes, it should be flashing rapidly between colors that are opposite of each other on the color wheel and big red arrows all around the screen pointing to it. The text that makes up OP's name and description should also rapidly flash through colors while quickly quaking around an area slightly larger than the area that the text would take up normally. There should also be totally sick dubstep playing every time OP is on the screen.


    no but really it looks good

    edit: just noticed it says "thread starter" down by the thanks button too. neato burrito

    Just integrated a modification that makes the first post always visible for the showroom forums, that should help a lot :)

    It would be cool to have a option to mark the post where the download is. :)
