I'm using Wordpress 2.7 and version 3.2 of the Atahualpa theme. I've set 'color for author comment highlighting' to 5E6A91 (which should give a bluish colour) but it still displays as the default pink in my blog. anyone has any ideas what's wrong? thanks very much!

an example can be seen at http://waslost.thecoffeespoon.net/20...lure/#comments

p.s. is there any way to indent comment replies to make it more obvious that they're replies? or is styling the borders of the comments the only way to do it?

You're right... a bug, will fix in 3.2.1. Try, via HTML/CSS Inserts -> CSS Inserts

div.bypostauthor {
background-color: #5E6A91;
border: solid 1px #.......;
}

From the 3rd level on (2nd reply level on) the replies would be indented. I left the first on the left to have room for more reply levels. This is the default setting for the 2nd level (1st reply level), add this via CSS Inserts and change the values:

ul.commentlist li ul.children li.depth-2 {
    margin: 10px 0 0 0;
    }

the div.bypostauthor code didn't see to work, although the commentlist styling works fine. i'm in no hurry to change the author comment background - as long as i know it's being fixed, i can wait!

thanks for replying!

Try with !important if you got a chance

div.bypostauthor {
background-color: #5E6A91 !important;
border: solid 1px #....... !important;
}

It'll be fixed in 3.2.1 regardless

that worked great, thanks a lot!
