Depending on the browser and platform, there may not be any indication at all that a post is by a site sponsor.
This is a problem with the Forum Software.

For example, with thread:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...tire-wear.html

On Windows with Firefox and Chrome, I see that the original post is by a site sponsor.
On Android with the DuckDuckGo browser, there is NOT any indication that the original poster is a site sponsor.

Again, this is a problem with the Forum Software.
Note that neither of the other two site sponsors that often post in that forum, give any indication in theirs post that they are a site sponsor. However, people know from experience that they are site sponsors.

This makes it impossible for some members to know if a post is some BS SPAM by some scum, or information or a new product announcement by an actual respectable company.

Thanks.

Thanks.
Edit: I think I understand the issue after further investigating. It's concerning the mobile theme and not the desktop theme on mobile. Correct? I'll discuss with the team.

Thanks.

Fwiw, I use mainly Windows and Firefox, so I don't specifically have an issue.

It looked fine on Android Firefox using desktop mode.


I attached a screenshot from Android, using the DuckDuckGo browser.










Also, on Android, using Chrome:
