OK, I'll bite. What's the deal with the chiffon yellow lines on some of our responses?

1. Ultra high secret membership benefit. I only about half get it. It denotes "best answers", who awards it ...

... I do not know.

So many interesting features in this version of DU, all I managed it to is make it an enhanced version of the last version.

4. They're just the newest posts in the thread.

Note that our posts are all highlighted in yellow right now.

If this thread continues our yellow will go away and the newer posts will be highlighted.

It's a nifty feature if you're following a flame war. Makes it easy to see that somebody responded today in that sub thread started three days ago.

6. You should have let them live the fantasy.

9. I am old, I live in no fantasy. I don't go looking for features I personally don't need. I still don't know how to ...

... post a photo. I don't need to post my photos.

11. I was wrong, anyway.

On closer inspection I see there's an option to highlight posts with recs.

I'm only half getting this too.

Also I'm afraid to post photos for fear of revealing my bank account or something.

2. The posts have been recommended by readers

[yardwork]

5. Nah. They're just the newest posts in the thread.

[yardwork]

10. Oops. I just saw that there's an option to highlight posts with recs.

[yardwork]

3. They're the most recent posts in the thread.

Watch a thread and notice how the most recent posts appear in yellow. This makes it easy to see the new posts - even if they're way up in a sub thread.

It has nothing to do with recs.

7. I don't see any yellow lines

[yardwork]

8. On my phone I have three options.

I can click on "none," which doesn't highlight anything, "newest posts," or "recommended posts."

I just noticed this. So I see that there is a way to highlight posts with the most recs.

12. Ah....

I'm on my laptop, the options are different I think.
Phones are too tiny for these weary eyes.

13. Ow! Something just bit me!
