Thanks to Dennis above for answering, but I think he misunderstood your question. I believe you are talking about seeing highlighted replies in the "reply tree" which is displayed between the original post in a thread, and all the replies.

There are a couple of options for highlighting in the reply tree. Just above the reply tree you should see a row of three buttons that look like this:

Highlight: NONE | 5 NEWEST | RECOMMENDED

"None" shows no highlighting, "5 Newest" highlights the five most recent replies, and "Recommended" highlights any reply which has five or more recommendations. I believe the last one is the one you're looking for.

Whichever option you select, it should stay the same across page loads. Hope that helps.
