This very simple template hack, is awesome. You and your users will love it. It requires one template edit, and one image to be uploaded.
I have included the zip, which has the template edit, and couple of images we use, and the PSD.

No linkbacks required for this hack, but would like for you to recognise this great hack, by clicking "installed"

What does this hack do ?

Answer: quite simply, it displays in the signature of the thread starter a thread starter graphic.

Gee thats brilliant, WHY !!!!! ???

Answer: why not, how often do you read thru latest posts and think what a great THREAD ! Then want to give Karma/Thanks to the original thread

starter ? Now you can.. its VERY simple.

TRY IT your members will love it.
