I have it isnstalled and it seems to be working, but doesn't register for the initial post...only subsequent posts.

I see you hae three examples on where to put this Threadstarter info. I don't want it under the usertitle, or under post counts. I want it in the other location...next to the post #.

Whar edits do I have to make to have it show there?

Do you want to highlight the initial post? Normally it isn't a bug, but a feature.

Options -> Highlight Threadstarter -> Choose the Display Location of this mod -> Own Display Location via Hook

Template postbit
Search for:

<div class="normal" style="float:$stylevar[right]">

Add underneath:

$threadauthor

@Burito:
i have already developed a version 3 that can this... But the code was a bit "dirty".
I also didn't find a way to make the code better...

So at last i decided to not release this version, only because of its coding. This should be a small modification that doesn't increase the loading time.

I hope you unterstand.

Hmmm clicking on Edit Phrase in the settings does not do anything?

Also, is there a way to change the size and style of the actual text?

Thanks!
