Highlighting of one's posts

[Fume Troll]

When you scroll through a page, your own posts are highlighted - very useful.

Could this be done where your posts are quoted, too? Would make it really easy to see where an answer / clarification /retort was required.

This would be very hard to implement as the system works by knowing who posted the comment, but doesnt know any information about the quoted posts. As the quoting is just a formatting device then the system would have to parse the text and try to workout where and who each quote is attributed too. This would cause an extra bit of processing to the thread, and slow things down.

Sorry, though welcome all ideas

Or you could have an option for the really paranoid where any post with your name in is highlighted

You could make a firefox extension that uses JS to look through the page and change the color of the parent div if your name is in there.

RacingPete: Could you make it add a classname of the username with dashes or something:

Example: <div class='forumQuote racingpete'>

or <div class='forumQuote balmoral-green'>

Not a huge amount of parsing from your end really because you need to parse the tags to make the xxxx said bit so it must be in a variable already.

Actually, then you could put some js on the page that would know your username (you have that anyway, welcome back xxx etc) and run that.

Made sense in my head.
