[Feedback] Comment Contrast

Sir ArmaMalum·Mar 5, 2014·2 votes·1,044 views

So I've been seeing more and more 2nd tier comments (replies to a 1st tier comment) being confused for replies to OP (1st tier comments). I mentioned this when the smoother layout was released but I'll just say again I believe the darker comments need to be a tad but darker, to help increase the loss in contrast that was taken away with the more obvious borders that we had before (the bubble minimize days).

Just in case it's a bit confusing I have an example below.

Any kind of visual emphasis on what 'tier' the comment is may help. Maybe a tick mark next to the name? A shift of indentation (Move the higher tier posts to hug the right side evenly but not change the width of the actual comment)? More defined borders (black outlines)? Anything really

Hey thanks for the feedback. We're aware that there's some polish that needs to happen on this, and we're working towards that. I can't provide a timeline, but I can say that we're spinning things up to address that.

tl;dr Soon™

Of course good sir, patience is a virtue after all. =)

Best of luck on the development!

This is a 1st tier comment, a reply to the OP

This is a 2nd tier comment. This is a reply to the 1st tier comment NOT the OP, and this is what's getting confused. More visual contrast here may help the confusion, as right now a semi-high brightness (in my experience) will cause the light gray to end up close to the white's shade and blur the borders.

Another thing that doesn't help is that a lot of forums alternate colors like this for long lists of 1st tier comments. No matter what I believe we need more contrast and visual emphasis that THIS comment is NOT a 1st tier comment.
