I was reading some Reese Witherspoon threads and her name is always red…why? Does everyone just make her name red? Two posts about her are mine and I dont remember making a red Reese.

I believe that if you search to find the threads, the word(s) used to search will be highlighted red in the thread found

Just possibly you did a keyword search on “Reese” in which case any of the threads returned would have the name highlighted. Other than that, not a clue.
