I agree the terms are a bit confusing. I think that’s because this forum (Meta) is a mixture of developers and non-dev…

@DevTantia – I think of the first post as “Original Post” (“OP”) or “Topic Starter”. There is only one of this type of post per Topic, and it always stays at the top of the Topic page. Only this special “OP” post contains the extra fields in the Composer (as you can see just below) like the Title, t…
