I feel stupid. On several question there is this comment "It's not what OP ment in her question". OK I know that OP is the one asking the original question - but I have no clue what the acronym is short for.

  • OPeartor? Seems wrong

  • Other Party? Might be

  • Original Poster? Could be...

But which one is the right one? It might not even be anyone of these suggestions... H E L P

Original Poster.

It refers to the person that wrote the post that started the thread.

    On Stack Exchange, "Asker" is really a better term, but OP is more established on forums/ect
