Original poster

Random posts are showing as a grey colour

I have customised my setting so that the OP is always coloured green, my own posts are pink and Mumsnet posts are blue.

Today I've noticed that the odd post here and there is grey. Is there a reason for this?

My random posts are coloured the same as the OP, so that I wondered if they were sockpuppets Grin

OddFodd your post is showing as pink for me!

catsrus · 02/03/2015 21:34

"a glitch!" GLITCH? but what does it MEAN helenMumsnet? why is it happening? what is causing it? who is being targetted? what do they have in common? I've been trying to work out what mathematical sequences are underpinning it and slowly going mad ... reminds me of the old 11 Plus revision books we used to get from Woolworth with strange shapes and you had to identify the odd one out.... there must be a REASON why these posters are turning grey....

It has to be white and gold, otherwise my dog is really blue and black.

Totally forgotten why I'm here now Something about Tech turning fifty shades of grey?

Tokelau · 02/03/2015 18:54

No it's not, it's blue and black. Grin

Oddfod is grey for me too, and other random posts on other threads.

Hi all,
Very sorry about this, it's a glitch and Tech is trying to fix it, although it will likely be tomorrow at this stage. We think he's been sent round the twist by spending too long trying to work out if that dress is white and gold or navy and black. (Ans. It's white and gold and there is NOTHING wrong with our eyes.)

is grey for me.

Main desktop site on Chrome if that helps.

OrinocoTheWomble · 02/03/2015 18:29

Sorry OddFodd

OrinocoTheWomble · 02/03/2015 18:28

Only Oddod on first page is showing grey to me. It's weird.

Dawndonnaagain · 02/03/2015 18:28

I too came looking for information.
Oddfod is grey for me. Safari, Mac desktop.

Bogeyface · 02/03/2015 18:13

Oddfod here too.

Came here to ask about this and was relieved to see this thread, I thought it might just be me it usually is!

CarbeDiem · 02/03/2015 17:59

Or we're being used as part of an experiment - in a 'what colour is this dress' way. :)

CarbeDiem · 02/03/2015 17:58

Me too and it's also Oddfod for me.
I highlight OP in green and I'm getting randoms in pale blue/grey.
What's going on HQ?
We're special , the chosen ones for something. Yes?

AnnoyedByAlfieBear · 02/03/2015 17:44

Oddfod for me too.

I'm on iPad if it makes a difference.

CtrlAltDelicious · 02/03/2015 17:39

I think the grey means the poster is an HQ member posting as a normal poster to liven things up a bit... Grin

TalkinPeace · 02/03/2015 17:37

Its whack a mole ... guess who will turn grey next

Sparklingbrook · 02/03/2015 17:33

A much paler pink though-actually it could be grey.

Sparklingbrook · 02/03/2015 17:32

Oddfod is pink for me. Grin I am pink too.

I am getting random pink posts, so I think they are mine but they aren't.

AnnieLobeseder · 02/03/2015 17:26

Yup, OddFodd grey for me too. I was wondering if I was going mad, so I'm glad it's not just me!

BuzzardBird · 02/03/2015 17:25

There is no pattern...

OddBoots · 02/03/2015 17:19

I know it isn't a dress but I'm getting the same posts highlighted but I see them as a pale pink not a grey. Confused

Unexpected · 02/03/2015 17:15

Glad it's not just me. Also getting random posts from different users in grey. Can't work out any pattern to it.

ThingummyJigg · 02/03/2015 17:08

I think it's when MNHQ think you're special/a troll/getting on a bit and should be on gransnet/have stalked you on facebook and suspect you are actually John Major/one of the chosen few to be invited to the as-yet-unannounced mumsnet Easter holiday to the Maldives.

MNHQ please delete as applicable.

LikeABadSethRogenMovie · 02/03/2015 16:59

Scrap that question. I've worked it out!

LikeABadSethRogenMovie · 02/03/2015 16:57

How do you even customise your settings like that in the first place?!
