He means the background.

It's something to do with thread starters in certain forums.

It's a resolution-tracking feature that's being tested out in the SCP, Wiki, and a couple of other forums.  Yellow means unacknowledged, green means resolved.

He means that the different colors denote whether or not an SCP request has been read/completed/is being worked on :)
EDIT: And speaking of features, what's the funky star thing under my name for?

No certain forums do it automatically.  Moderators in those forums can then change the colors.

Basically it's like the bug reporting feature for the SCP, where posts are coloured differently depending on the status of the request.

Since this site is primarily designed for the SCP and it's Mods, that makes sense, and it's not as if any of the background colours make things hard to read unless the poster uses some really nasty text colours.

Can someone point out these colours? I don't think I've seen a single post or thread that looks in anyway different from the others.

Certainly not in the "Ahhhhh my eyes! My beautiful eyes!!!1111" way that everyone describes.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences.

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

There's something under UT's name? I don't really see anything... looks like a sliver of an avatar but only like... a quarter of what would usually be there.
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".

That was me... I wanted to put something in there, but didn't have an avatar at the time, so I grabbed the avatar from the aide de camps. :p

I've nothing to add, but I really like the new way signatures are handled. :p

This is not a signature.
You did not see this.
It was all a dream.
You will not tell anyone about this.

Now go and read this signature again.

So, you actually bothered to scroll down, eh? If you're that bored, you might as well take a look at the links above.
