Highlighting authors' posts

64 replies

JustineMumsnet · 01/09/2010 15:30

For them that wants there's now an option to highlight the OP's posts in a thread. Just go to customise and choose "Yes" on the highlight posts by author option.

If you hate tints/hate OPs/hate change then just ignore this message and carry on as you were.

Cheers.

Haven't tried on my laptop but it's definitely diarrhoea on the iPhone.

But I likey the idea :)

nickelbabe · 03/09/2010 10:03

I like it!

(and i've found out about the "hide" option everyone keeps talking about!)

I can't find Customise!

I've looked at MyMumsnet, I've looked at the menus at the bottom of the page.

where's the Customise clicky-bit?
help!

(I had this problem before when you messed around with colours and stuff, and I still can't find it! )

Thanks Tech

savoycabbage · 03/09/2010 04:18

I like it. It's a great idea. On mine, Justine's second post looks darker than her first so perhaps it will get paler and paler the longer we use it. Let's hope so.

Hi TNT, You can do what you are asking. It's an option. Click "customise" near the top of this page to get the options page. One of the items under "Other options" on that page is 'Put "hide" link on Active Convs?' Just change the selection next to it to "Yes" and click save. Then threads on active convs get a "hide" link next the them, which hides the thread without opening it.

TonariNoTotoro · 03/09/2010 01:56

I like it.

minging farking colour though

Oh, can we have a highlighter on active convos/threads I'm on too? so you can see when the OP has responded without bothering to click

While I'm here... Please can we have a facility to block threads without having to open them? If I'm at work I don't want to have to open a thread entitled 'My husband has a third testicle' but i DO want to block it...

RespectTheDoughnut · 02/09/2010 22:46

Laptop, Firefox & grey speculum here, definitely.

I like it though, thanks :)

CaptainNancy · 02/09/2010 22:27

Im on a mac, and it's brown... the same one previously used in live webchats?
Looks good to me. (who cares what colour?)

cleanandclothed · 02/09/2010 22:04

Thank you!

KickArseQueen · 02/09/2010 22:04

I dont care what colour it is - it works Thankyou!!!

Still want to be able to go straight to a posters name in a thread from my "I'm on"s tho, rather than having to trawl thru :(

sorry!

cleanandclothed · 02/09/2010 21:55

Pleeease tell me where customise is?

Littlefish · 02/09/2010 21:53

Brilliant! Thank you. I suggested this ages ago.

tethersend · 02/09/2010 21:44

Why can't you do this for your own posts? Would save you trawling through pages of a thread trying to find the point at which you left it...

cleanandclothed · 02/09/2010 21:41

Umm - it must be staring me in the face, but where is 'Customise'?

HooNose · 02/09/2010 17:11

Aha! I long since banned contentious threads from my Mumsnet. Was too stressing.

But I am keeping the feature to see if Justine backs down on the colour because it is interesting.

Poledra · 02/09/2010 15:05

Oh, very cool, Tech and possibly even froody.

Eyethangyew for this.

PS HooNose, the point of the feature is that you quickly can see if BOF the OP on a contentious AIBU thread has actually come back and responded to comments. Or something like that

HooNose · 02/09/2010 14:54

What is the point of this feature please?

Oh and another vote for it being battleship grey (now, that is, not what I would like in the future).

Tech · 01/09/2010 22:05

Hi Rusty, We'll look into the logout/login thing. Sounds like a buuuug. I know it used to do something similar but I thought someone had fixed it a while ago. Sounds like not so.

BecauseImWorthIt · 01/09/2010 22:01

Still grey here...

TrillianAstra · 01/09/2010 21:59

By the way I liked "hate tints/hate OPs/hate change"

TrillianAstra · 01/09/2010 21:58

It wa a greeny brown poo colour, now appears to be grey-er (on laptop rather than desktop but both on firefox).

RustyBear · 01/09/2010 21:57

So why does Lenin think it's changed? Is she having delusions?
It does look greyer on my laptop, but then the Discussions of the day tab looks bluer on there than it does on my iPad.

So if you don't like it either, can't you change it? I'm sure Justine won't notice

Btw, while you're here, can you tell me why when I log out from MN, it logs me out on all my computers, but when I log in, it doesn't log in on all of them? And If I open MN on a computer I haven't used for a while, I have to log in & then I find I have to log in again everywhere else....
