Show original poster for the thread

I see on the default homepage, it shows all the threads, but it only shows "Most recent by xxxx". How can I put some code in to show the "Original poster: xxxx" or something along those lines so that people know who the original poster was without opening the thread?

In the upcoming 2.1, the Discussion Photos addon does this. If you don't like the photos being added too, you could hide them with a little custom CSS.
In the meantime, you could drop this in your theme hooks file.
/** * Add OP name to start of discussion meta. */ public function DiscussionsController_AfterDiscussionLabels_Handler($Sender, $Args) { echo ''.UserAnchor($Args['FirstUser']).''; } public function CategoriesController_AfterDiscussionLabels_Handler($Sender) { echo ''.UserAnchor($Args['FirstUser']).''; }Sorry for being such a noob, but what would the theme hooks file be? I use Nebula 2.01 theme. Thanks!
do a search on themehooks in the forum- it was recently discussed.
also take a look in the EmbedFriendly theme for an example.
And if you don't get clearer instructions or understand you can always use one of the two plugins that adds the original poster.
the ATV plugin and there is another which name I can't recall (someone else might).

Lincoln's suggestion is very clean, sometimes a plugin is easier if you want to enable and disable without modifying theme code.

Thanks Peregrine! That's exactly what I needed. I just couldnt find it.
not sure exactly what you used - but as long as you are happy.
