It's working for me.

Try the "highlight own posts" feature.

On dark mode, it's sorta the same color as the submit button.

I see a difference when I turn on "Highlight Author" but it's pretty subtle in light mode.

Works for me but IMO needs to be a little more of a different shade.

Perhaps this can be a choice via drop down in preferences, for the user to pick what color they prefer for the “highlight”. I miss the old orange-ish highlight.

This. In dark mode it is very difficult to distinguish OP from other posters. Needs shade lightening or color change.

It's working but the highlight shade is so close to the other users that you can't really tell if it's the OP or not.

I can't see any difference between the OP and other posters. Kinda sucks.

Which device and browser are you using? It looks like it may have its own "forced dark mode" that is overriding out colors. Thats not at all what the OP color looks like for me on mobile

That was it. It wasn't a problem before. Sucks because I like dark mode

I would keep fiddling with settings, because the new ARF dark mode is great. I think our dark mode combined with your devices dark mode is just breaking a few things
