Whats up with these greyed posts? (RESOLVED)

So, I've noticed a few posts (usually by mods) that the background of the post is grey instead of black.

Not really a problem, unless there's text on the post as well.

Green text + Grey background = roughly the same as Yellow text + White background. Eye strain like NOBODY's business

Anyone else notice this?

It means the post has been thanked or rep'd

Kinda what I figured, but I guess I poorly worded that post.

Is there a reason that it needs to change background color?
If so, could it be a color that doesn't wash out the green color of the text?

Being able to see at a glance that you've been thanked is nice, but for someone just reading the thread (take Gramps's response to Amphibious Warlord's [Only admins are allowed to see this link] thread, for example) the green text is washed out, and having to highlight entire posts is cumbersome.

Or am I just nitpicking, and it doesn't really bother anyone else?

Bothers me as well, but I get around it, doesn't happen often enough to really bother me too much.

its odd that i cant control that. ill see what i can do but theres no direct button

Hmm, that's kinda weird.

I wondered about this too.
I thanked one of Arsons posts & i couldn't get the grey to vanish.
Nevermind.

i just dropped the THANK,.. you can do the same by just voting their rep up.

Okay cool, thanks brock, I couldn't even find a thank button anyway haha. Glad it's resolved

lol its the same as the rep button on the right side + -

Thanks Brock!

As far as where the "thank" button was... when Storm replied to this thread, I found the button pop up next to "Quote" on the right side.

Oh well...I know if we ever bring it back haha! There are so many buttons on this forum lmfao 0.o
