Here's a little visual guide on how recommendations in the comments work.

Step 1:

Step 2:

Step 3:

Once a comment receives three recs, the comment should turn green and have that asterisk there. Here's an example:

Voila! There you have it.

You just had to have your example...

be the comment where Rox Girl chastises me, didn’t you Russ!

But seriously, thanks for that brief tutorial.

Welcome to the front page, Jabberwocky. Russ loves featuring stuff that takes us down a notch or two,

You did read Monday’s Rockpile, right? I think it’s a sign that he secretly thinks we’re the bees knees, at least I’ve always interpreted it that way.

Now that I see my post all in green...

I must have more!

Though the asterisk does look like a negative film review on Rotten Tomatoes.

Is Russ Expecting to get one of his comments recommended?

to have people familiar with rec’s, etc, I’d rather that they aren’t used. I was over on Athletics Nation earlier today, looking at how they felt about Wimberly/Murton. That whole site is one big popularity contest, with people throwing rec’s around left and right. I much prefer the tight community we have here :) .

I enjoy reading

the comments as they are posted, and responding accordingly. I do not see the point in recommending a comment be read, although I might the point for an excellent fan post/shot.
