Post by certain user look unique?

[Wired1]

I'm working on a site where a user account (usually a bot, rarely a human) will make threads and never reply to posts. I'd like to have it where the first post in the thread will look as if it's not part of the thread, i.e. no post info, no avatar info, etc. Ultimately with its own unique look as well. I've heard that this has been done for vB2, but I can't seem to find that mod at all, and in any case, I'd like to use it for vB3. Is anyone working on something like this for vB3, or is this a simple mod I can code myself? FYI, someone mentioned that template conditionals would be good for this, but I'm still researching it myself. TIA!

Umm... ??? Can't wait to see the tutorial.

Happen to remember where in vb.com that was? Tried a search for "forst post different" but first and different are too common, and weren't included in the search.

Wow, that should do it, thanks a bunch! Just need to modify the conditional for postings for posts from user X, but that's basically it! My first foray into templates, eheh.
Faranth, how's that tutorial coming?
