Anyone else noticed the new “Thread Starter” tag on replies?

[EngagementPlug]

Was scrolling through some threads and suddenly saw a little “Thread Starter” tag next to the OP’s name when they reply inside their own thread.

Is this new or have I just been blind this whole time?
Not gonna lie, kinda helpful for keeping track of who's the original poster, especially in those 10+ page mega-threads where everyone starts sounding like the same person lol.

What do you guys think?
Nice little upgrade or just some UI dressing to make us feel like something changed?

Next step: give us a “Ghosted Thread Starter” tag for those who drop a WTS post, disappear, and come back 6 months later like “Still available btw”

Or maybe a “Thread Hijacker” badge for those legends who turn every topic into a PayPal ban story.

BHW devs… the possibilities are endless

Yes, this is a great new feature

Nah, that'd be overkill IMO.

Ahhh so it was officially announced
Glad it wasn’t just another Mandela Effect moment from too many sleepless SEO nights.

Appreciate the link! Gotta say, for a forum full of people automating their lives, this little tag actually helps lazy brains like mine keep track of OPs without scrolling back to page 1.

I like that new feature as well!

Haha fair enough
Maybe I went full meme mode with that one, but hey, we’ve seen wilder badge ideas around here... "Jr. PM Enthusiast" anyone?

Still, you gotta admit... a “Ghosted OP” tag would save a lot of time in the Marketplace

Just noticed the feature,

It's so beautiful <3

Right? Brings a tear to the eye
Finally, a tag that says “I started this chaos” with elegance.

Now all we need is a “Certified Lurker” badge for those who read 57 pages without ever replying

It's basically a reddit version of OP

Props to @ojsun for the original idea Truly a visionary.

Next goal:
Let’s get him a “Feature Godfather” badge and rename the tag to “Powered by @ojsun”

It's basically a reddit version of OP

Reddit says “OP”.
BHW says “You’re responsible and we know where you live.”

"Hate this thread? Blame this dude."

"Hate this thread? Blame this dude."

Exactly. “Thread Starter” is just BHW’s polite way of saying:
“Snitch tag enabled.”

 

[iLoveTheSrotaredoM]

i LOVE the new feature!

 

[EngagementPlug]

i LOVE the new feature!

Love is a strong word… but yeah, it’s giving accountability chic

 

[Luca Marketing Agency]

Yah I love this update, BHW keep getting better while I think they're at their best

Right? It’s like BHW heard us thinking “this place can’t possibly improve more” and went:
“Hold my badge.”

 

[saferidge]

Yes, it's really helpful.

 

[Builder Dave]

I hadn't logged in in a bit and this was one of the first things I noticed. Useful feature, but IMHO the large red tag makes it a tiny bit too visible.

 

[EngagementPlug]

Totally. It’s helpful and judgmental, just how we like it around here.

Useful, sure.

Also feels like BHW yelling “YOU. AGAIN.” every time you reply.
