"Author"

[rose62]

On some of the other forums that I visit, the original author of the thread is noted on all of their subsequent comments to the thread. It's handy to know in some instances. Thanks.

Have a look at your profile settings. I think you willfind all of that functionality there for you to turn on or off. I think this is what you are looking for

Is that functionality actually there? I didn’t see it as an option. I’m trying to figure out what forum/forum software has “Thread OP” highlighted.

It is the setting below. Watch (or set a trigger) on the content (thread) you created



From the XenForo Preferences screen, the setting you’re looking for is under Content options.

Correct setting:​

• “Automatically watch content you create…”

When this option is enabled:

• Any thread you create is automatically “watched”
• You will receive alerts/notifications when someone replies
• If you also tick:
  • “and receive email notifications”
    → you’ll get email alerts as well

How it works:​

• XenForo uses a “watched threads” system
• Creating a thread + enabling that option = automatic subscription
• Replies → trigger alerts (and optionally emails)

---

If you’re not getting notifications​

Also double-check:

• Go to Alerts (left menu) → ensure thread reply alerts are enabled
• Make sure you didn’t manually unwatch the thread

---

Quick summary​

Enable:
Automatically watch content you create…

✔ This is the exact setting that controls reply notifications for your own threads.
