Ha ha ha... I thought some sort of bullet would be useful for jumping between comments. Particularly with threads with a lot of paragraphs it was hardish to tell where one started and the next started. These are a bit lame, but that was the idea. I'll put a bit more thought into it.
Now there are little blue staff ones that are fairly useful methinks. I'll do something small to improve the yellow ones and make them seem a little less empty. (well, useful when the system thinks your staff... which it doesn't think I am for some reason)
Ok, I am digging the balloons now, with the diff colors for staff and players. And the little scribbles in the players' balloons, that might or might not actually be little flecks of dirt...nicely done.
