Highlight Threadstarter's Posts/Replies in Thread
Mod Version: 1.0, by sockwater

This modification allows you to easily highlight the replies made by the thread starter.

Features:

• Enable/disable modification
• Auto add a class name to the post table element, allowing you to style the opening poster's replies as you want.
• Auto-add CSS to style the thread starter's replies
• Can optionally style the first post (instead of only replies) as well.
• If you don't want to do the auto-class or auto-css, you can use the $post[is_thread_starter] variable in the postbit template to do your own styling.

Installation:

Import the product XML via the Product Manager and visit the Options group (Highlight Threadstarter's Posts Options).

The screenshot shows the OP's reply with a wider border, but you can highlight their replies any way you want with CSS. If the opening poster replies via the quick reply, their post won't be highlighted for them until they reload the page.
