RE: OP prominence.
How about have it 'glow' in the same way that the lightening symbol does on one's own posts?

I can think on the OP prominence. 

Perhaps the move to reset the tipping is if you tip more than once, the dialog pops up to set an amount.

Wonder if there's a way to make the OP label a bit more prominent.. like the Flairs on reddit... looking at the @dergigi AMA, for example, it's still a bit hard to quickly skim for the OP's answers

Is there a way to change your default tip option? Wondering how to give a bigger tip without having to click repeatedly...
