    Just something that occured to me as a useful feature... many times I'd find myself scrolling to the top of the thread to re-check who the OP was... to put other posts in perspective... especially when re-visiting a thread after a few hours or days and jumping back to page 5... sometimes it's not entirely clear.
    So what about assigning a third background colour that is used on all the OP's subsequent posts.
    It'd also be handy in threads where there's a whole lot of spammy waffle from people, where all you want to do is see how something turned out. handy for skimming through etc.

    Maybe it wouldn't work on some threads/boards, where the OP is generaly less important to the progress of the thread.
    Though I'm not sure if there's any identifyer in vB that distinguishes the OP from the incidental post #1. :confused:

    Ho hum, maybe I'm the only one who'd find this usefull.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
