The overlay on the avatar indicating the OP doesn't appear anymore.
OP Indicator Missing: Avatar Overlay No Longer Visible
- Thread starter DrClaude
- Start date
In summary, the overlay indicating the original poster (OP) does not appear on avatars anymore, although it was working earlier. It seems to be missing from the source in Safari but present in Firefox, and may be a CSS or browser issue. The poster suggests checking the page source for "<span class="Tooltip helper">OP</span>" to determine if it is a forum or browser issue. They also mention that their Safari has never displayed the starter mark for the OP.

I don't see it on Safari on my iPad, but I see it in Firefox on my Mac.
Edit: I checked that it doesn't show up in Safari on my Mac either. And it was working earlier today. Did you change anything @Greg Bernhardt ?

Can you search the page source for "<span class="Tooltip helper">OP</span>"?
If it is not there, it is a forum issue. If it is there, it is a CSS or browser issue.

Bizarre, there must be something in the CSS that safari trips on. It's all pretty basic though.Nugatory said:
