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.


or something like that. When in doubt, ask EarlG.
Your question might be more visible to the admins in DU Community Help.
More generic computer stuff goes in this forum, but no big deal.
Hope this helps.
