In some XenForo forums, I've seen that under the thread creator's avatar, this message appears in red: "Creator of this thread."

Is there an add-on for this?

A search in the Resources manager yielded this template modification, but the compatibility field says it's for 2.0 and 2.1 so I don't know if it will work on the current version.

This add on does the job. I run it on 2.2 but it is listed to work on 2.3 as well:

However: There seem to be issues with 2.3:

Hello everyone!

Generally the add-on works, but some of the locations are not well formatted. The CSS layout in XenForo 2.3.x has changed considerably, especially with round avatars.

We will update here soon with some fixes and hopefully will be able to support all locations.

Thank you!

Their statement "We will update here soon with some fixes" has been unfulfilled for over a year now.

Why not just try it and see if it works.
