When you say highlighting, do you mean a way to see which comments are new? You can click ‘subscribe’ on any comment to be notified of a reply. When you make a post, you can also check a box to be notified of replies. You can also see recent comments in the sidebar and click the heading ‘recent comments’ there to get a longer list. :)
Subscribing makes it pop up in messages here, yes? Have you given any thought to email integration?
Also, is there an RSS feed for posts and/or comments?
(By the way, I agree as you stated elsewhere that it is good not to impose too much on Trike Apps and instead open the codebase to volunteers to develop.)
Yes, it appears here. I agree that email subscribing could be good. Having said that, we’re not in a position to act on feature requests at the moment. My aim now is to show that the forum has sufficient traction to justify any further development. I would like voluntary development and I’ve asked Trike about this but can’t answer in their behalf.
Both the front page and your inbox secretly have RSSfeeds, which could give you the facilities that you need for some description of email notification. (For now, I find it hard to get myself worked up about the fact that these are unliked given that most users don’t need RSS, and those that do are often superusers who can deal with this.)
Is there highlighting for new comments? If so, I haven’t noticed it. If not, could we get some? :)

Yes, like how LessWrong highlights new comments. It should be a pretty easy feature to implement.
Though ideally not in pink.
Surely everything is better in pink?!
I think I know what you mean but can you send a screenshot?
A new comment within a read comment. Here’s a script for doing it on SlateStarCodex.. And Jeff Kaufman does it too.
Yes, that would be a very good feature, and was present in LessWrong so I’ll look into this.
