i'm glad you guys like the Thread Starter addition!
Hey, can I get an award or something for the suggestion of the Thread Starter idea? You know, one of those blue-ribbons?
i'm glad it's well-received!

I don't think you'll be geting that
if you do, than i would like my ribbon for submiting the news off iphone in Germany announced. ...Maybe this would be a idea, then more people would search for rumors and if they submit it, they get something.... bah i don't think so.

ill give you a pat on the back from across the internet lol
I agree...
I have a long user name, to start with, and in bold it gets just overwhelming... and basically scared me a little the first time I saw it... No innuendo intended... :-o
Maybe it should only bold up users without avatars...? Edit: As suggested above...
It is useful, but it's distracting from the post I am trying to rea...
Sorry, was looking at a bold username in the other window...

This is probably why I see no need for the bold username... I just need to look for the blue ribbon and there's a pretty good chance of it being my post.
You only have 200-something posts. I think you have a little ways to go before you get an avatar.
I don't mind the bold (it's probably nice for those without avatars), but I really like the "thread starter" tag.
I'm a member of the "Go Thread Starter Tag, Boo Bold Name Tag" camp. GTSTBBNT for short.
T-Shirts will be available shortly.
I actually thought it was because I had just made 601 status initially... but I don't think too many people will have that problem. The bold doesn't really bug me, but I think it suits avatar-less MacRumors posters more.

Yeah, I agree. I don't really think it's necessary since we have signatures and other information to recognise our own posts by. Plus it just kind of looks messy.
On another forum I visit, the bold usernamed people are the mods, so it's bit confusing. But hey, it doesn't make a difference. Go ahead. I don't really care.
The Thread starter feature is great. I can't say I'd noticed the bold before, but it would have been useful pre-avatar.
Like both the "Thread Starter" and bolding of the user's name.
Bolding of the user's name is very handy for those who don't have a 'Tar. Even a change of color to say red, might be handy for those who scroll through the thread quickly.
Of the two, the "Thread Starter" is the most useful by far.
As it's something that can only be seen on the Logged in users screen, adding an option to have it or not doesn't seem a problem to me...
