Rules for RuneHQ Questions and Suggestions Forum

This area is not for RuneScape or Graphics questions. We have separate categories for them.

If you have a question, please use the Search feature before asking. You might find the answer in the existing topics. It's also helpful to go through all pinned topics and announcements in every forum for answers to questions related to Forum Ranks, Features, etc.

Please note that we are a RuneScape fan site, not support forums for IPB or websites. We never will offer forum/website help for someone wanting to start their own website. We have a list of Web Development and Help Sites, so please use those instead.

Please avoid asking us to share our content with you; the answer is and always will be no. Using our content without our permission can get you in legal trouble for copyright infringement.

I think it would be beneficial if we added a: Topic Starter, line to whenever the person who started the topic posted. For longer topics I think this would make a lot of sense as sometimes people tell someone other that the topic starter to do something, or suggests something. It also helps to follow the topic dialogue for very long topics, rather than having to scroll up once you've read the whole dang thing to see who asked the question in the first place.

I know this is included with VB, but I hate VB, so my suggestion is that we add it into IP.B., after we upgrade to 3.0 of course! Thoughts on this idea?

I like the idea, the square near it more or less says it, but we could save room on the topic lines by adding the "Started By" line instead. It'll be good :D.

Yes this is a very good Idea it would not mix anyone in topics and such!

Change your mode to Linear+ if you want a fix for your problem. Here is a FAQ that discusses how to change to Standard, which is the same procedure to get Linear, only a different option: http://www.runehq.ne...t...E=02&qid=54

Linear mode shows the first post at the top of every page.

I don't think you have the idea. The previous posters are looking for a way to signify on subsequent posts that 'hey, this guy started this topic, listen to what he's got to say as it may be an addition to the existing topic!' - which is a feature in VB.

In VB, on the left under the avatar it says something like **TOPIC STARTER** to signify "this user made this topic".
