Highlighting authors' posts

64 replies

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.

Hi RustyBear, We haven't changed the colour. It's still that greeny colour that we used to use for the navigation bars in the old days. It's RGB color values are D8D5B2 which is not a million miles from grey I suppose. I've always hated that nasty colour tbh.

Not on my iPad it isn't!

It's grey on IE & Firefox on my laptop, but still horrible brown on iPad & iPhone. I've refreshed the page, restarted iPad, cleared my cache and cookies, logged off and on again, turned the option off, turned it on again - still brown....

Any more ideas how I can turn it grey?

Hi, the squished up boxes should look better now. Hit F5 / Reload if not. Ta.

Snorbs · 01/09/2010 18:59

Thanks for adding the option but I agree that the colour is yuk. As it's a background for a big block of text then it does need to be a much paler tint IMO.

And the selection boxes are now knacked.

BecauseImWorthIt · 01/09/2010 18:31

Olive as in Farrow and Ball ridiculous colour names.

Definitely Battleship Grey chez BIWI

But I'm loving the new feature!

SacharissaCripslock · 01/09/2010 17:21

I'd have preferred that only the name rather than whole post was highlighted. [being difficult]Grin

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 01/09/2010 17:14

god that's fiddly :) thanks ...

ForzaDelDestino · 01/09/2010 17:12

IAGTBF if you move your cursor to the end of the strip about highlight posts by author and click, a drop down box will appear although only a mm or so, click and if you peer closely you can see the N change to Y; have a go

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 01/09/2010 17:07

Doesn't work for me: the selection boxes are 1-2mm high and I can't click on any of them :( I like the idea though :)

TrillianAstra · 01/09/2010 17:03

Speculum Grin Nice way of describing it.

ForzaDelDestino · 01/09/2010 16:31

not taupe, nearer to speculum (slide slider to the right)

AMumInScotland · 01/09/2010 16:29

The colour's fine. But the selection boxes have definitely got squashed in the process!

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 01/09/2010 16:22

It's taupe. IMO.

And a jolly good idea, thank you.

TrillianAstra · 01/09/2010 16:17

Paler, paler, please!

Looks a greeny brown to me.

How about the same colour as those 'save' buttons on the Customise page?

I know 'pale mud' was one of your original colours, but thankfully it's not actually used any more is it? And as LackingInspiration says (in a post that belies her name) it would tone in nicely with the purple bits.

Even a proper grey (like the Discussion of the Day tab) would look better with the other colours on the page.

(Btw, I do appreciate how difficult it is to get people to agree on webpage colours - when I was redesigning our school website earlier this holidays I asked for Mumsnet opinion on various shades of blue and got a massively wide range of opinions)

And I do appreciate the facility....

ForzaDelDestino · 01/09/2010 16:05

I have opted for, and thank you MNHQ but in customise I had literally the top mm of y or n look at and guessed at where the drop down box was

Thank you. It is grey on my laptop, but I'm not complaining ...

BonzoDooDah · 01/09/2010 15:58

Looks battleship grey to me - but I'm not bothered. Great idea thanks!
