AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around confusion regarding the visibility of the "OP" or original poster icon in a forum. Participants initially express uncertainty about what the "OP" designation looks like and whether it is functioning correctly. It is clarified that the green circle indicating "online" status is not the OP icon, which has since been fixed by a user named Greg. There was some initial miscommunication about what was missing, leading to confusion among users. Ultimately, the issue has been resolved, and users are reassured that they can now see the OP indicator.

"OP" to me, means "opening post" or "original poster", so I'm mystified.

You can still see it?

See what? The OP?

Seems fine on my phone too.

But again, I don't know what I'm looking for.
 
There used to be an icon marking the person who was the OP. I was thinking it was the green blob on your avatar, but that shows "online". The OP badge was on the avatar but it was something else.

Dunno if that's because Greg's fixed it...
That, I can see; the original? No, and "color" me mystified.
 
Now it's fixed. Thank you, Greg.

Dave, as Ibix said, you are seeing the "on line now" icon (the little green circle). That's NOT an OP icon.

To be clear, at no point was there a mention of what exactly was missing - not until post 7, and even then it was just a description, not a location. I had no idea what to look for. I thought at first, the entire opening post was missing. It was all a bit cryptic.

Anyway, it's moot - it got sorted - so don't worry about it.
