Highlight on rec'd posts

I think at one point all posts in a thread with five or more recs would be highlighted on my screen. This seems to have gone away. Can I get it back?

3 replies = new reply since forum marked as read

If you're on the Latest Discussions page, there are dropdown boxes:


Click on the one that says "milestones" and change that to "Milestones [default]." Even though it says that it's supposed to default to "Milestones" you have to manually select it and then click the button next to it. After that, you should see little arrow to the left of the OP title of any post with 5 or more recs.

I hope this helps/

Thanks to Dennis above for answering, but I think he misunderstood your question. I believe you are talking about seeing highlighted replies in the "reply tree" which is displayed between the original post in a thread, and all the replies.

There are a couple of options for highlighting in the reply tree. Just above the reply tree you should see a row of three buttons that look like this:

Highlight: NONE | 5 NEWEST | RECOMMENDED

"None" shows no highlighting, "5 Newest" highlights the five most recent replies, and "Recommended" highlights any reply which has five or more recommendations. I believe the last one is the one you're looking for.

Whichever option you select, it should stay the same across page loads. Hope that helps.
