The face icon will be yellow if you are currently online or grayed out if the person is offline. What I can't figure out is that I have noticed next to my smiley face is an icon with the letters OP in it, what does that represent? I've noticed it in others too, like Beamer, but it's not in everyone's. Can someone enlighten me? Thanks Attached Images Jeff 1925 Superior K 4 Dr Sedan 1966 C10 2003 Silverado 1500 HD

Perhaps I have been identified as good, bad, or indifferent (pick one). I edited this post because when it appeared after posting it, the op was missing!

At first I thought why would we need to identify the original poster, can't we just scroll to the top to see who originally asked the question? But I guess that does make sense when you are down into a long thread and you see the OP insert another comment. Thanks Cabboy, I tried to come up with an explanation and it just wasn't there. But I think you have it figured out. Jeff 1925 Superior K 4 Dr Sedan 1966 C10 2003 Silverado 1500 HD

They may not put you in the "OLD" but "Otherwise" bracket like me. I prefer to go with the "Original Poster" explanation and not upset anyone. Tony 1938 1/2 ton Hope to drive it before I retire

However, being a Devil's Advocate, I wonder why the person who put it in there in the first place didn't see fit to get involved here! Beamer Chat Region Member 2017 GMC Canyon
