styling author comments

[szeretlek]

Hi, I am using the three column split Cutline theme.

Every time I try to style .bypostauthor I get my (I'm the author) comments styled the way I want to... but everyone who replies to that comment gets my style as well. Basically everything nested under my comment inherits my style, which I do not want.

Help please!

Can you show us the address of your site?

That's basically how CSS works, so it's not a Cutline thing. You may need to "unstyle" the sub-level elements OR use the child selector > so it only affects the direct descendant but it doesn't work in IE6.

How do I do that, though? Has anyone else managed to successfully style author comments alone in cutline?

I'm not completely sure what your setup is on your site that's why I'm asking for your URL but it would be something like

.bypostauthor { background: #eee; } /* author style */
.bypostauthor li { background: #fff; } /* remove background color */

Assuming <li> is the wrapping element for child comments.
