I've never seen this asked before so I'm asking.
I already know that when a handle shows up in Bold Red text, that represents the moderator for that board.
But what has baffled me is why do some Date and time stamps on some messages show up in red, some in Bold red and others green? At first I assumed it was tied to the date. Then I assumed it was tied to the replies. Then I thought maybe it was the number of times it was read. Or maybe it was tied to whether it was a response under an alias.
None of these applied. The odds of a date and time stamp showing up different colors appears to be totally random.
Any thoughts on this?

But, at 17:29 Pacific time on the same day, barely 13 hours after the post I'm responding to, the date/time are in black.
KSK, I think you are looking at the timestamp as it appears IN the post when reading it -- not as it appears in the forum.
At least on my PC, this is how the posts in this thread appear:
RED:

All fall into the time/color categories posted by The Advisor.
Dah, got it. I guess it was because I was checking once I was already into the thread. Thanks atl_mgr.
You will also notice that when actually in the thread, the timestamp of messages older than 24 hours show up in regular black type, while new messages appear in bold black type.
