Journal mcgrew's Journal: Now, this is strange... 5
I woke up early this morning, poured a cup of coffee and opened slashdot on the notebook and made a few comments in this thread. The laptop's 3 years old and the battery dies after an hour, so I plugged it in and turned on the TV, still sipping coffee. Nothing on but infomercials and rasslin' so I turned on the big computer, started MP3s up and got back on slashdot on my phone without logging in -- I'm not going to try commenting on a phone, and the batteries in the big computer's keyboard are dead.
The bank robbery thread didn't have many comments when I'd read it, so I popped that one back up to read more coments.
The comments I'd posted all had my name in orange with an orange star next to them. Only my comments, and I wasn't logged in although I would have still had the same IP, since the phone was on my network.
Does anybody know what's up with that? My curiosity has been piqued.

That's a little notability flag on the mobile site that everybody will see. It highlights users who have contributed here for a long time. If you take a look at the discussion on the FBI story, you'll see a few others.
Thanks for sticking around all these years. :)

Wow.
I never knew. I browse mostly with old discussion style. The mobile style is phorced on my phone.
Am I too, a star-bellied Sneetch?

I guess that's why I haven't seen it either.

Yes, you have the orange star and jumpsuit... err. Not that. Yet.

Thanks, that was puzzling. And thanks for reading my JEs!
