Comment numbers…

This was tricky….
Okay, first thing, you have
list-style-type:none;
which prevents anything being shown, so remove them.
Now the numbers appear, but you need the colours.
With ‘author2’ (me !), try a color of #00ff00 – That will colour my text AND the list number. Similarly, changing yours to red will do the same.
It’s quite hard to play around this much using FF, but I guess you need to set #commentlist li to a color, and #commentlist li p to black and let the cascading aspect take over, so that all the author tags will use the same. I think.
That make sense ?

Hang on a mo guys. List Styling is what you need. I did do it once but I have forgotten how it worked.
