Step 4 - At each instance add the following code directly after style="

<if condition="$thread[toppost] == $post[postid]">background-color:#CCCCCC;</if>

#CCCCCC is the color to highlight the post with. You may change this to another HTML Color Code

Step 5 - Repeat this for each instance (there may be as many as 5 depending on the template)
For example:

<td class="alt1" align="$stylevar[right]" style="<if condition="$thread[toppost] == $post[postid]">background-color:#CCCCCC;</if>border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-$stylevar[left]: 0px; border-top: 0px">

I see that if two posts have the same rating (in this case 1) the first one gets 'toppost'. Here's an example:

What do you think about a 'toppost threshold' or an option to 'make toppost' by the thread starter or admin ?

Also, is how many topppost's a user has something good to put in their profile/postbit?
