I just posted a comment to a Quick Answers question and was rewarded by near blindness as my comment was rendered with a bright yellow background. May I suggest a more subtle shade of attention? 
Thanks,

There is an algorithm that is used. The brighter your comment, the brighter the color used. Consider it a compliment

In that case the background should've been black.

Some of the latest changes on the site have made it more difficult to do certain things from a Windows Phone 8 device because any kind of mouse-hover operation is very difficult to execute.
- The new feature in QA where the report flag and other controls are hidden until hovering the mouse over the area.
- Accessing the moderation queue through the new pop-up.
When I access the site from my phone, I normally do it in Desktop mode. I just tried accessing the mobile version, but I cannot see myself using that at all - sorry.

I don't really have any problem browsing the site with my Android tablet: even this post was made with it.
I run it in "Full site" mode (which it forgets periodically) but other than that and Androids annoying auto correct which always assumes I mean coffee when I try to write "coffee" "coffee" *farrrrkkkkk* "code" *thank you Google* I don't have a problem.

Apple's autocowreck is even worse. I get things like Code -> Apple and Error -> Hamburger. I have it turned off.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

I've never seen much use in using auto-correct on my phone... Mostly because I've set the language of the phone to English and I most often write in another language (German and/or Swiss German, wheres you won't find an autocorrect feature for Swiss German that suits your needs as nearly every person slightly writes or pronounces words different  )

I don't use auto-correct, but the predictive typing on WP8 works very well. I have English, Spanish and Danish language support installed and when you have the keyboard up, it is a simple button click to switch between languages.

You know you're addicted to CP when you even use your phone to access it. Time to unplug.

You are correct, but on some weekends it is the only way for me to go online.

Can you please try now?
[Edit: Just grabbed a Surface for testing and found an issue. Works much better on an iPad and Galazy. Just a final issue with the Surface that's been fixed and is waiting for the next deploy]

I see the difference in the Moderation Queue popup - it is a better pop up effect, but I still have to do my usual trickery to actually be able to select a menu item (let me see if I can find where I was whining about that...here we go[^]).
When I tried it out in the QA area, I did not notice much of a change - it is still difficult to figure out where the icons are when you can't see them. Also, when I did manage to pop up the "flag menu", part of it seemed to be initially behind the side panel on right, but it sort of came fully into view as I moved my finger around.
[EDIT]
In the QA area, instead of completely hiding the controls, could they be faded just like the controls for the Comments?

FYI, I have noticed that the red flag and nearby controls on QA posts are no longer hidden when I am using my phone - thank you.
I still think it feels a little awkward in a regular desktop browser. After reporting a post and the popup menu goes away, the controls are hidden again and you have to move the mouse back up in the area to see the report text.
I would prefer if the controls were simply faded the same way they are on Comments. Just my 2 cents.

Is anyone else also getting a mostly blank Weird and Wonderful page? I see the banners at the top and bottom of the page, links at the side and the forum description at the top, but no forum content. See screenshot[^]
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

Yes, the content is missing. Didn't find it in the html source code of the page either (i.e. it does not hide in misplaced iframe or with white characters on white ground  ).

Looks like it's fixed now.

Looks like the page lost the Forum. Working now.

It was just fine yesterday before the (awful) yellow highlighting of one's own comments appeared today.
Clicking edit on a comment opens an empty textarea. Anything typed in there replaces the original comment (as it should) - someone has forgotten to populate the textarea with the original contents of the comment.

Hit Ctrl+F5 and try again please.
Should be fixed now.

You sir, have an impressive record for squashing issues with haste. 
If buying CP merchandise is the closest I can get to a donation, I'll fire off an order shortly.
A donation would be preferable, since it's a 100% gain to CP, but either would work just fine for me.
