Suggestion for long threads

So, when entering a long thread as a new answerer it is difficult to find the original poster. Since this is the opinions forum, the forum owners/moderators might give the O.P.'s name a different color on the thread, or a (O.P.) behind the name, or different color answer box for the O.P.'s replies?

Suggestion noted! We're always looking for ways to improve the forums and the give the users a better experience. There are many improvements we can make in the management of long threads, and this is definitely one of them, so hopefully we will be able to implement something similar soon! :)

Yes, when I'm on my mobile phone it's so hard to find the bottom of the thread cause everyone replies and replies

I feel your pain, Nyan Cat brother! I will see if we can get some sort of button that brings you to the top or bottom of a thread. Something like that would be very useful.

yes, there is already a 'go to l;ast post' thing but it doesn't work :(

Hmm, a good suggestion. Perhaps some kind of highlighting?
I'll forward it along to the devs for addition on the wishlist of updates. :) 

Many thanks!

Yes, the O.P.'s profile name/answer box title bar should be distinguished in some way.. The answer box title bar highlight would be perfect in my personal opinion as it gives a new delightful look and also doesn't make the page over colourful, because name highlight would be small and whole answer box highlight will be annoying for long threads.. However, final decision is in developers hands ! This is because some people have same avatars or a kind of avatar that looks alike when viewed for a second or something.. Some people having the doubt on the same topic but a different question enters a long thread and asks their question in the mid-way (when the O.P.s offline for a time) and all the former answerers thinks this new person as the O.P. and much more minor confusions.. This really frustrates in the mobile version !

P.S. Thanks all you moderators for considering my/tom's users suggestion, will report a problem/difficulty if found ! :)
