I've been spending time on the forums for Paradox Interactive, a strategy game company (I only specify in case anyone wants to go and check out the feature I'm mentioning), and they have a nice feature that I'd like to suggest for the AE forums.

Whenever a game developer posts in a thread, an icon of their company logo is inserted beneath the thread's other icon (be it pulsing with new posts, inactive, or whatever). For people like me who (particularly on their forums, although sometimes here too) are often more interested in developer comments than the discussion around them, it's very nice to know what threads to glance through. Might that be something we could have here? Hopefully it wouldn't be something too difficult to implement, just maybe a check for group membership? So in AQGD, KoO and other AQ staff would warrant the icon; in DFGD, just its particular staff and artists; etc.

Edit: Meh, come to think of it, maybe it wouldn't be as useful here since staff post in tons of threads. But it couldn't hurt(/I can't delete this thread anyway XD).

That's an avatar. :P Although they don't apear to be utilising the group icon bit, which is included on most forum software providers, in the case of Paradox Interactive, they use vBulletin (one of the "Big 3"). It seems that on the version of forum software the BattleOn! Forums run, these are inserted manually in the title of certain ArchKnights and the KoO (the ArchKnight logo and the Knight Chesspiece) via raw HTML, as it appears. There are ways to add a "highlight colour" to posts, but that would be overly complex and would require the addition of a large amount of code and involve manually inputting the post numbers of important posts in certain threads eg. "threads="2033455","2457890";".
