Hi Is there any way that when listing a part you can put the comments in another
colour. I find that being black as description buyers don't always notice
them. Thanks Sharon.

As soon as that happens, people will try to use it to make their comments stand
out, and it becomes a visual trail wreck ❗

Other than a few of us who are obsessive in finding obscure Unicode glyphs, of
course. We would never do such a thing.

I suggested this a long time ago since the added text usually alerts to a condition
issue. Currently it just blends in with the description and is hard to notice.
It did not happen, but I was told to use code to accomplish this (HTML I think).
I did not make the suggestion just for me but for the entire community of BL
buyers and sellers alike. I do not see why making it easier for buyers to see
a condition note would be a problem. There are some parts that still have resale
value even though there is a condition issue and I as a seller try to let the
prospective buyers know the issue by adding such notes. I have received messages
from buyers that did not notice the added note, so I know exactly why you are
wanting this.

I believe the larger problem is Easy Buy allowing buyers to fill their carts
without being able to view the Comments.

You have to go back through your shopping cart before checkout in each store
in order to see them.

Text color should not affect anything other than standing out.

Here's what I do. Is this sort of what you're thinking?

That is what I was told to do way back when. I just thought it would be beneficial
to everyone to have any added comments (not just the one word) placed by sellers
done that way automatically.

Yes That would perhaps help. I will try this thank you.

YAY. Red Text in comments.

I just tested this on a few shop listings. It works great. The close code is
not even needed if is desired to have all subsequent text to appear in the chosen
color

I fooled around with other colors, but red appears to be the best and also easiest
to type.

Colored Text not only looks good in store listings, it also stands out very nicely
on the order detail screen.
