The Thread starter tag, added in the big change, has been lost. I found it useful to know who was drifting who.
That change is recorded in the changelog. I wasn't a fan, and think it just added to the general clutter of the postbit and wasn't worth the trade off especially with out long thread style here at diyAudio. The OP is less important than on other sites. It might come back, but in a different position where it doesn't blow out the size of the postbit. Thanks for the feedback.
