 * Hi,
 * I’ve been searching for a solution to this but I have not been able to find anything.
 * What I want to achieve is a comment structure something like the one shown in
   the first picture in the post: [http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2009/02/19/comment-threading-is-here-plus-other-cool-comment-settings/](http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2009/02/19/comment-threading-is-here-plus-other-cool-comment-settings/)
 * The problem is not the nesting itself, but the backgrounds of the nested comments,
   the “children” if you please. In this example it looks great because the background-
   color of the “parent-comment” ends when the “children-comment” begins. I don’t
   how to get this result!
 * In my case, when the children-comments are indented, the margin on the left between
   the children and the border of the parent comment have the background color of
   the parent. This means that the background-color of the parent is sitting under
   the children comments, thereby making the left paddings filled with the color
   of the parent. This is what I want to remove. An example of this can be found
   here (the first picture of the post): [http://meidell.dk/archives/2004/09/04/nested-comments/](http://meidell.dk/archives/2004/09/04/nested-comments/)
 * Does anyone know how to do this?
