I'm salmon pink!

Oh and I'm pink but on the Mobile Site the colours are reversed

For me on the Desk Top Site the OP's posts are a bright/neon green BUT it sort of fades in and fades out as you scroll up or down sometimes on the same page it can be neon green for the opening post and almost MNHQ blue for a subsequent post. The repeat of the OP's on the second page of a thread is blue rather than green. It is all rather odd.

My forest green OP is still a really neon bright green that hurts my eyes. The color for my posts was lavender; now it's bright pink. That doesn't bother me so much but that neon green is nasty.

My Forest Green OP is now a glowing pink/mauve and it is utterly horrible and really hard to read as I use glasses for screens.

My 'settings' have not changed - I checked.

I want my Forest Green back!

Thanks Jessica and team!

me too!

Another one here. OP is showing up a horrid salmon pink when it should be forest green. I'm meant to be lavender and that still seems to be the same.

I'm getting the same pink instead of forest green, although I have the darker purple for my own and that still seems the same. I prefer the green!

Thanks, Jessica.

Just a puke salmon test

I'm also not touching customise, I'll just leave til it's fixed.

It lives in the arrow link near 'Talk', Doyou. (Towards the top left of board pages on the main site.)

I suspect that any disparity in settings won't last long, Gin. It's just .......expedient for MNHQ to do it right now. (Like retaining Classic.)

Glad it's not just me, OP's posts have turned that hideous shade of salmon pink for me too, used to be forest green and after eventually tracking down customize, it says they still are!

I find the salmon colour hard on my eyes and it clashes with the lavender colour of my own posts!

And how the hell do you quickly find customise? I had to go through FAQS. It helpfully provided a link but didn't tell me where it is actually located these days.

Bolivar I completely agree with you. I don't cope well with unexpected change, and I always struggle with other websites when they do a big change overnight, but it doesn't take me long to get used to it. The constant little changes here are really difficult to process when they keep happening.

I also feel it's a bit playground-y to have certain settings for some, and not for others.

You're brave. I'm not touching a thing in Customise in case it all disappears!

My 'OP' posts were forest green but showing as salmon pink so I've just changed OP's posts to 'Olive' and now they are coming out blue.

There is definitely something peculiar going on...

Fewer posters = fewer readers = less advertising revenue, 5. It's in nobody's interests to alienate people, surely?

Zombie. I agree entirely with your comments about beta testing and bugs. However when you say posters are upset I am sure you are right but I think you overlook the fact that you are not the customer. The advertisers are. What posters like must always be secondary. Mumsnet is a business after all.

Dear MNHQ.

If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. OP was forest green; it's now the hideous salmon. Zombie's own posts are still lavendar, thank fuck.

In her ever so humble opinion you are trying to do far too much far too quickly. Changes are not being properly beta tested and bugs eliminated before you implement them site wide. Zombie was under the obviously mistaken impression that you wanted to improve the colours for webchats. At least that's what your own thread said. Instead it's screwing things up site wide.

You've upset a lot of your regular and long term posters recently with not only this but also things like the "native ads".

Zombie includes herself in the legions of the upset. She is even beginning to question whether the immense support she receives here is worth the increasing hassle of using the site.

I was grey for OP and pale green for me.

The new colours are different on the mobile site and on the website.

I'm sorry, MN, but I deal with technical change stuff a lot (as in communicating it rather than coding it) and the way you roll out this stuff is nuts. You do highly visible changes with no warning whatsoever in the middle of the day.

A lot of posters use the ridiculously hard to find customise option to colour code their own posts and the OPs for quick reading, and not for the first time, you've removed/changed this valuable feature extremely noticeably without really much explanation.

Sorry, it's rare that I criticise someone else's website, of which I have no operational knowledge, in this way, but some of the changes don't seem that well organised or communicated.

Please don't kill me.

Another one here that's gone all peculiar. OPs are now in the same colour as my posts, which is confusing my addled brain. I keep reading and thinking "I don't remember typing that!!" then realising its not me at all!! My settings are still the same as they used to be, too.

Thank you cozietoesie. Is it just me that thinks Customise should be under My Mumsnet? No? Ok then.

But anyway, back on topic.

Why have they changed the colours, without a by-your-leave or anything? And why don't they match what they're supposed to be?

The pale green I use for OP's posts are now bright lime green.

Glad to have found this! My OP's are usually green, but are now a horrible pink. My settings show my wants (OP green, myself in mauve)
