I noticed my comments UI changed and now usernames on comments aren't highlighted for OP anymore.

Questions still use the old design and still show highlighting:

But not answers:

(this is from an answer on the same question)

  • While I'm here, it would be nice to have highlighting for answer OPs in comment threads on their answers, but maybe that's asking too much :p Commented Aug 28, 2025 at 19:03

    Hi, sorry for the slow update, we'll look to get this re-implemented in the new UI Commented Sep 3, 2025 at 11:51
  • @cart No worries, not like this is a show-stopper or anything :) Commented Sep 3, 2025 at 12:44
  • @wjandrea actually, it might be sometimes Commented Sep 4, 2025 at 2:03
  • @Aadvik How would it be a show-stopper? Commented Sep 16, 2025 at 12:27

We've released a fix for this, could you check it looks about right?

    The highlighting is there, but the smaller height of the element makes it hard to see at least for me. Commented Sep 11, 2025 at 18:21

    I agree with @John, it needs to be a little bigger. Commented Sep 11, 2025 at 21:30

    Should be a touch bigger now?! Commented Sep 18, 2025 at 9:50

    @cart definitely better now. It still struggles a bit to stand out with how "busy" the new UI is, but I imagine that would take a more significant redesign to fix. Commented Sep 19, 2025 at 19:19
