Any chance we could have a 'thread started by..' column in active convos?

Please? I usually use the active convo page instead of the actual topic pages and would like a 'thread started by..' column like the other pages do.
Pleeaase?

Yes, I second that request - puhleeeeze! :)

VelvetSnow · 30/08/2011 12:38

I agree.

Itsjustafleshwound · 30/08/2011 12:42

It would be a useful feature

WhatFreshHellIsThis · 30/08/2011 12:44

I would also like posts by the OP to be a different colour, so you can scan for updates nice and easily. (and moon on a stick, too, please Grin)

Cheria · 30/08/2011 12:45

What fresh you can change your settings so that your own and OP posts are highlighted (in different colours)

giyadas · 30/08/2011 12:46

you can do that already if you go into your settings WhatFreshHellIsThis. You can even choose the colour I think.
Moon on a stick is pending Grin

whatfresh you can already do this Wink

Yes the 'thread started by' would be really useful when used in conjunction with the hide button Grin

ConstanceNoring · 30/08/2011 12:48

x post just a bit

Pinot · 30/08/2011 13:58

yes please

WhatFreshHellIsThis · 30/08/2011 14:08

oh god, really? All this time wasted reading every single post when all I wanted was to find out what happened.

Darn it.

Thank you for putting me straight!

Pinot · 30/08/2011 18:57

Mine doesn't work. I've changed the setting. Maybe I have to log off and on...

Right, it works in Threads list but not in Active. Which is what the OP asked for.

I have it set up but it only shows in each topic - not active convos. I may have dreamed this or taken too many drugs or drunk too much but I seem to remember a thread about this before and Tech guy (I'm shit with names) said that it wouldn't work in active but they would think about doing it some time maybe possibly perhaps.

giyadas · 30/08/2011 19:05

so, I've ticked the 'started by' box and I'm using MN new, and it doesn't work on active convos.
Shock I've been fobbed off Sad
