It's a bit bold for me. Don't really see a need for it either...I know I'm here and what I posted. 
Could be an aid for those without avatars though.

ya, that's what I was thinking was that we are a little spoiled by having the avatars for so long

I dig - thought I was losing it just a minute ago when it changed on my mac.
It's nice, because I've scrolled through posts with a LOT of replies, and lost my reply in the sea of responses. Helps to pick up where I left off.
Thumbs up for me.

I just saw it for the first time and thought I was special for a minute
Doesn't really serve a purpose to me, but it doesn't bother me either.

I don't mind about it really, the thing I DO like is the "THREAD STARTER" message under the thread starters name.
I have to agree, can't a person just look at the main page to see who the starter is. I don't like the bold under my name at all. Does it really matter who started the thread when they are going over 500 posts?
I'm not to fond of the the bold username. I myself don't generally need to locate my own posts after I've posted but I think "Thread Starter" under the username is a nice touch.
A feature I've seen at other forums where all posts you've posted have their own colour. mods, admins or other special group (contributors for example) have their own colour.
here is an example of what I mean:

Possibly. Although you wouldn't see other users posts being coloured unless the staff and or contributors had their own colours. There could for example be only two colours; one for the poster which only the poster would see and one for the thread starter which everyone would see. The colours could be more subtle than my example.
Don't like them... at first sight, they don't communicate anything of substantial use to be made permanent and global features. I especially don't like the dark green type... Options in the CP panel, if possible.
I can't say I mind too much. Maybe it'll be useful for those without avatars, but I agree with Blue Velvet in that there should be an option to turn it off if we want.
Although I am loving the whole 'thread starter' idea. That can be incredibly useful.

I also agree with Blue Velvet, there really should be an option to disable these new features in the User CP.
I also find that my username is too bold.

I wouldn't be bothered if it stayed or went but I do sort of prefer it without - or at least an option one can turn off or on in userCP
I've probably been doing a terrible job at explaining it but I'm not sure how else to put it at the moment.
Psssst! Let's announce that people who are the most intelligent, most popular, and best looking now have their names in bold. Everyone will think they are special!
Seriously, I vote no to the bold look.

I like it, I often end up scrolling and page-backing to find the OP. But so many people don't like it that it would be best to have it as an option.
