I’ve noticed that some comments on threads will have a red, dotted line next to them, almost like it’s the color coding for child comments, but it shows up occasionally on a top-level comment which has no parent comment. I’ve tried looking at the accounts where I see this, but I can’t find any patterns for it yet, myself. Any ideas what this is?

    I think I figured it out immediately after posting this, lol. If there’s a red line next to this comment, then I think that’s to highlight OP’s comments in their own thread.

      Ooohhh, I was wondering why they didn’t have a way to signify who the OP was when commenting, this helps so much.

      Edit: it also seems that your own personal comments are highlighted with a green dotted line, unless you are OP.

      No red line next to your comment for me… Hmm, maybe it’s instance specific.

    Presumably this appearance can be tweaked with different themes available in the setup menu.
