Update to webchat guest colours

503 replies

Hi,
This is a heads up that we're soon to introduce a change to the colours used to highlight posts on desktop and mobile.

If you've been around long enough to have the old style customised colours this won't affect you.

For newer users - we needed to add some new web chat guest colours and retire the awful mustard yellow we used in the past on desktop webchats. As a result of that we then needed to update our other colours too.

Thanks all

They're back for me too. :)

I think even on the phone, which were switched. I think. I may have got used to it.

BoreOfWhabylon · 27/10/2016 12:54

And I have my silver back!

Thank you.

Mine seem to be working now on my iPad, I've picked silver for OP and dark lavender for mine and it looks ace.

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 27/10/2016 10:57

Even weirder is that on my laptop, the desktop version has the OP posts in MNHQ blue now Confused

Memoires, sorry I went out. I'm a dusky pink (Envy

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 26/10/2016 00:27

Is this STILL wrong?

BoreOfWhabylon · 25/10/2016 19:49

I have changed to Olive (pale duck egg/aqua)

and Heather Blush ( v v pale pink - not unpleasant)

Quite restful but I WANT MY SILVER BACK!

Powaqa · 25/10/2016 19:01

Ive just bit the bullet and customised as I despise peach and pink that much. Changed OP to Olive and mine to Silver and they are still rotting peach and fecking pink!!

Powaqa · 25/10/2016 18:56

How come my colours have changed, even though you said the oldies wouldnt change?

The two worst colours in the world - peach and fecking pink!!

I dont want to customise them in case you change them all again!

BestIsWest · 25/10/2016 18:05

I'be changed to olive (duck egg blue, not too bad) from forest green aka cat sick pink.

Customise is on the drop down from the arrow next to Talk at top left hand on desk top site.

OublietteBravo · 25/10/2016 17:50

How do I change from being pink? I fucking hate pink. Horrible, horrible colour.

OublietteBravo · 25/10/2016 17:49

Well the colours seem to have become darker again (great), but I'm definitely not back to my customised colours.

Memoires · 25/10/2016 17:44

Forest Green:
Hex triplet #228B22
sRGB, (34, 139, 34)
CMYK, (83, 21, 100, 8)
HSV (120°, 76%, 55%)

or even forestgreen Grin

Please Tech; this is hideous.

Memoires · 25/10/2016 17:38

My OP colour is still whatever it was, or as close to it as dammit, but Forest Green is horrible horrible horrible.

What colour are you, Catzpyjamas?

Catzpyjamas · 25/10/2016 17:15

This thread disappeared from TIO. I'm just posting to check if it reappears (and to see what colour I am)

Ladyjaxo · 25/10/2016 17:10

Testing testing

RatOnnaStick · 25/10/2016 16:17

Right. I've worked out that Forest Green and Silver both give the same shade of vomit pink but all the other colours are what they say so if I change OP to Dusky Lavender it's a much nicer shade of mauve. I'll stick with that.

Olive is definitely duck-egg blue so that's staying.

RatOnnaStick · 25/10/2016 16:07

Just checked my customize options. I should be on Forest Green for OP and Olive for me but I still see Vomit Pink for OP and duck-egg blue for me (quite like that one actually). I'm on a Windows laptop using Chrome.

SpookyPotato · 25/10/2016 16:05

Mine are fine on ipad and desktop but not on iphone Confused

RockyRoadster · 25/10/2016 15:51

I've sorted mine now by selecting Olive in customise which gives me back the shade of green I was using before, but it wasn't called Olive before I'm sure!

TheySayIamparanoid · 25/10/2016 15:39

BoreOfWhabylon
Ta for pointing me in the right direction!

OP
I have now changed from that awfull green but it's only on desktop version, goes right back if I go to mobile version!
