howdy y'all,

_[edit -
TL/DR = thanks to pimanac for the pointing me at RES. i have "alum highlighter" turned on. i have no freaking idea what an "alum" is, tho. [blush]

turns out it is the Mentioned User Color.

testing alum ... /u/gangstanthony

yep, it means the user name is in the OP. thanks to gangstanthony for the info! [grin]

i've seen the blue background that shows for the OP. now i am seeing a brown/red-brown background on some usernames. it's seems to only be on ONE name in any given thread.

what does it mean? i have tried searching and got nothing more than the references to the OP showing with a blue background.

heck, there was one thread where the user name was mine ... [grin]

as Ta11ow pointed out, it would really help to have an example. so here is one thread ...
