Update to webchat guest colours

I share your pain Memoires.

They have, true to their word, left us our customised colours names but changed the actual colours.

FFS

Oh actually never mind I think I've got my custom colours now I've posted (although i'all never be able to change them but that's OK) anyway I'm not the apricot that other people are saying they have

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

I do have the old style customised colours, I think, but green has still gone that horrible luminous colour. What on earth was the rationale for changing it? Please go back to forest green.

I seem to have lost the ability to customise my colours. I definitely had custom ones before :(

That is a colour reviled universally in this house. And you've made it ME.

STOP IT.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

My posts are the most vile apricot pink yeuch thing which looks like sick.

I have been around long enough to have the old customised colours and am supposed to be unaffected. I have not been near my customisation pages to ensure I am not affected by these horrible horrible changes.

WHY? YOU PROMISED.

I also blundered around in Account Settings at first akkakk

thank you BoreOfWhabylon I didn't remember the customisation being there (thought / assumed it might be under account settings!)

seems then that I am suffering the same issue as you - quite on what planet anyone thinks silver = ghastly pink I am not sure hopefully they will sort it out!

perhaps the techs could give us hex codes?

Yes they are darker. Thanks!

My posts are a weird pink! Iphone..

Test

To find 'customise' click the down arrow next to 'Talk' at the top left of page. Not everyone has a customise option, only those who already had it before one of the earlier Great Improvements.

As I said earlier, my customise options are still there and the colours have the same names but the actual,colours themselves have now changed beyond all recognition

not sure what you have done - but mine were customised - only use desktop - no changes in the last few weeks, but this morning the OP post has gone a ghastly shade of pink - horrible...

how do I go back to being able to customise?

can't see any technical reason why this functionality had to be removed... surely if there was already an over-ride in place for those who had customised it, that should remain? then your changes would make no difference...

really unpleasant to use

It is awful, I use dark colours that show through my overlays the salmon pink doesn't show through so I can't differentiate between the OP and the rest of the posts , I had the old style and it has gone. I can't find settings either to change it. I can't use the site like this, it makes it hard.

And I'm scared to go into customise in case I balls it up and can't change back.

I have just gone onto the desktop site on my tablet to try and customise the colours back but I can't!

I am finding the green colour difficult to read, it's too dark and giving me a headache!

Please can you just let us customise colours again?
I usually read mn in bed before I go to sleep, but as I get tired my eyes don't see colours as brightly so I've no chance of being able to read mn tonight if it stays like this!

Please please please just give us the option to customise back!

I'm on desktop, using Firefox.

My posts used to be dark pink and the OP's a sort of darkish grey.

The OP's are now a salmon pink and hard to tell apart from my own

I thought I had customised colours? Ops are now green but I appear to be a dusky pink. Originally it was grey for Op and purple for me. The colour contrast is better though. On Samsung it isn't flourescent.

Testing testing ...

Thank you ThumbWitch!

Ooh, but my posts are still have a purple background!

My lovely forest green just changed to peach! Not a happy bunny, my old eyes are not coping well. Please switch it back

Much better, thanks!

Noodles - Customise is in the down-arrow menu next to Talk at the top of the page now.
