My first answer to a question on Serverfault got changed to a comment. I fully understand why this was so. While pointing to what I believed to be the problem it didn't actually 'answer' the question.

Once I realised my error I edited the comment to explain my point more fully and so be more helpful. However when I look at the question withut being logged in I only see my comment (and one other answer by a different user).

When logged in I see my edited comment in the answers section but it has pink/red background.

I assume this means it needs to be approved or something but I can't find anything in the site FAQs to explain this.
