I was starting to really dislike threaded comments, they looked so messy. Now I am giving them another chance, thanks to you. They look so much better with your style starter!

I fixed it and it's working great now. Thank you so much for this! Sorry about that – I didn’t realize you had to activate the nested comments in the wordpress admin panel.

I added the style to my css file and it's working but for some reason the REPLY button doesn't say REPLY and is not clickable. Is this something to do with my comments.php file? I copy/pasted the comments.php file from the default theme folder when I downloaded wordpress 2.7.1 and thought that would work. Am I missing something?

I have a question about styling author comments. I have my comments in a different color than all other comments. I use this ul.commentlist li.bypostauthor {background: #def6d8 url(http://kimwoodbridge.com/wp-content/themes/kimwoodbridge/images/comment-bg.gif) repeat-x !important;} When I reply to someone and then someone replies to my reply, their comment is green rather than the white that it should be. I'm not sure which style I should use so this doesn't happen - would it be one of the children or do I need to specify something for ol.commentlist li.byuser {} ? Thanks for your help!

Your new selector might look like this: <code>ol.commentlist li { border:1px solid #d5d5d5; border-radius:5px; -moz-border-radius:5px; -webkit-border-radius:5px; clear:both; height:1%; margin:0 0 10px; padding:5px 7px 5px 97px; position:relative; }</code> Easiest way would probably to make sure floats on ol.commentlist li are cleared properly (clear:both;) and more padding is added to the left-margin to accomodate the larger avatar.
