If you are willing to look at the source after the first post is added, you could add styles to suit that post to your css.

something like:

#thread #post-3 .threadpost { background: #7CFC00; }

#thread #post-3 .threadauthor img { display:none }

#thread #post-3 .threadauthor { background: url(images/question.jpg)  no-repeat 0 0;  width: 80px;

height: 80px; }

should work ok for that page.

other than that, i’m sure you could find a jQuery solution to find the first post in a thread & style it.
