The forum I moderate in has lots of very long topics with many posts, often spanning multiple pages and dozens of messages. When someone posts at the end of a e.g. \>10 posts topic, it would be nice to if tehy are the user that created the topic in the first place - OP so to speak.

Suggestion: Add the “Original Poster” glow to the user avatar as it is done on the topic list.

Any post made by the “topic owner” (OP) gets given the `.topic-owner` class. Admins can target this in a theme component and add a glow, or similar.

Nice!

Then I suggest this being added to the default themes.
