i know there's a lot of stuff out there explaining my question, but i've no chance to get it actually to work the way i want it. i found this piece of code that let's me set a comment color by a user_id.
<li class=”<?php
/* Only use the authcomment class from style.css if the user_id is 1 (admin) */
if (1 == $comment->user_id)
$oddcomment = “authcomment”;
echo $oddcomment;
?>” id=”comment…
however i'm running wpmu and i have multiple users. is there a better way to solve this problem for multiple users. would you add a loop or something to get through all user_id's??? i know there is this il.byuser class, however it's not working for me because my theme doesn't use wp_list_comments to get the comments.
