Hello Techs.

Please may I suggest 2 things to improve my mumsnet experience?

Please change the bookmark system - I can't hover when I'm on my notsofarking smartphone Wink. A method similar to the report "button" would work fine for me thanks.

Also - I'm so very keen on The highlighting of the OP's posts throughout a thread it is rather lovely - please could you highlight mine as well to make scrolling through most clear for me please. I'll allow you to choose whatever colour pleases you.

TIA.

Just seen someone start a thread on not liking it.

Now, I don't want to be selfish - maybe it should be an option and posters can customise if they want OP/MNHQ/their own posts to be highlighted?

ChaosTrulyReigns · 13/01/2011 13:03

Ooops, alopogies, I didn't know it had to be activated.

oh, oh, I've just found "further options" in the customise menu Blush
Now I have the bookmark thingy, thanks!

pookamoo · 13/01/2011 13:01

nope... thanks chaos but no blue rectangle, despite hovering!
Plus, I don't have any colours, only blue/purple, whichever version of MN I choose under "customise".

Am I doing something wrong? Which version are you all using?

ChaosTrulyReigns · 13/01/2011 12:58

ORANGE!!! Shock

juneybean · 13/01/2011 12:57

Ooo I like the new green, it was orange for me yesterday!

I like that MNHQ have got their own colour too!

ChaosTrulyReigns · 13/01/2011 12:55

bookedmarked? Confused

ChaosTrulyReigns · 13/01/2011 12:55

pooka, if you hover your cursor in the white area on the far right of a post (under the "message poster" pale blue line) a dark blue rectangle appears, click on that and it will save that position in the thread. Next time you open that thread it should go straight to that bookedmarked place.

Oh OP - I just made the same request today!

systemsaddict · 13/01/2011 12:40

Love the highlighting but the green is too dark! More contrast between the text and background please. No objection to green per se but a bit less intensity??

pookamoo · 13/01/2011 12:39

How do you bookmark? (am I being thick?)

DanceInTheDark · 13/01/2011 12:35

I am one of the old guard Wink (have to namechange a bit now)

In my day there was only one option to chose from ShockWink

ChaosTrulyReigns · 13/01/2011 12:28

I am worried that what I'm asking may make some of the old-guard cross and make them think we're becoming a bit too hunsnet.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 13/01/2011 12:27

I do try to remember to bookmark, but I forget a lot of the time, it would be great when you'rs scrolling through a long thread to just have your input made obvious to spot IYSWIM?

but surely you could just bookmark your last post?

(unless you are on a not-so-smartphone that is)

I prefer the new green but the gray was more boring and unobtrusive, for those of us who like to slyly waste our employers' time.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 13/01/2011 12:11

It's quite pleasant - a bit Folly Green-ish, slightly warmer and friendlier than the grey.

LoopyLoopsIsNoLongerFestive · 13/01/2011 12:05

This is odd. Not sure I like the green.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 13/01/2011 12:05

And if you can refer to the F&B colour chart to select the colours that would be smashing, thanks Techbodies.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 13/01/2011 12:04

Hmm Everybody's gone green.

No no no no no no no no - I want OP's posts one colour and all my posts a different colour! (and a diamomd ring please) Grin

Humph.

pookamoo · 13/01/2011 11:59

Maybe you could have a "jump to my last post" button or something, so you could pick up a thread where you left off?
