and I'm usually forest green, is there a reason, I checked my setting and apart from the fact that the colour currently in use isn't even listed, Forest Green is still ticked! Any advice gratefully received!
Thank you!

I'm meant to be forest green

Op is pink (it's stayed the same)

I am now the most hideous shade of salmon.

I'm very put out mnhq! sort of

see also this thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/2748703-Update-to-webchat-guest-colours

basically there is a bug that where you previously had customised colours they are now showing a different hex value (the code bit which = the colour) whereas they should have a value to match the text labels in the drop down menu...

BitOutOfPractice · 25/10/2016 15:13

I'm salmon pink too, even though I have forest green ticked. Me no likey! Sad

cozietoesie · 25/10/2016 15:11

Hmm. That doesn't seem recently enough to me. Who can tell though? Smile

GinAndOnIt · 25/10/2016 14:58

I've been here about two and half years cozie but this name is fairly new.

cozietoesie · 25/10/2016 14:55

Did you start this account recently? (If memory serves, all those who registered after a certain time - or eg re-registered post Jeffreygate - have been given a 'Little' Customise. The people who had the original 'Big' Customise with lots of options have been grandfathered in.)

GinAndOnIt · 25/10/2016 14:52

I've never been able to find a way to have the OP a different colour other than white, which is a PITA frankly. What am I missing? The Customise bit has nothing related to colour at all on my page Confused

BeyondReasonablyDoubts · 25/10/2016 14:48

Same as auntie, my colours were fine through all of the fiddling.

Also, I started a separate thread, but in case it is related to the fiddling - the "latest post by" bit of formatting on the chat homepage is wrong - part is missing. Giant and hidden ads remain annoyingly unaffected

See what I put in brackets. Smile

"Thanks for flagging. We have recently changed the colours again after feedback about the first changes being too pale. We will double check with tech on this, though."

You appear to have changed colours that were unaffected. My green used to look like that in the screenshot from Anchor and did throughout all the earlier shenanigans. It hadn't changed and so did not need putting right. It was 'right' throughout..

It now looks like that in the screenshot posted by Beyond

Which I am finding increasingly difficult.

Is there any reason why colours cannot be restored to exactly what they were before the fiddling? Both rounds of fiddling!

Nanny0gg · 25/10/2016 14:36

Where's Customise? Confused

cozietoesie · 25/10/2016 14:35

Nanny

To Customise. (It lives next to 'Talk' - in a drop down arrow link - on the desktop site and across the page from 'Talk' - another arrow link - on the mobile site.)

cozietoesie · 25/10/2016 14:32

That should be the 'Viewport Bar' that you're talking about. If you still have the 'Big' Customise, go into it to check that that's not been hidden. (Who knows what may have happened with Customise when people weren't watching.)

Nanny0gg · 25/10/2016 14:31

I'm pink too!

Yeuch! Also can't find where I change them anyway.

Where do I go?

KatherineMumsnet · 25/10/2016 14:28

Hi all,

Thanks for flagging. We have recently changed the colours again after feedback about the first changes being too pale. We will double check with tech on this, though.

ptumbi · 25/10/2016 14:11

I hate it - OP posts used to be Grey but are now pink. And my posts are pink too!

And what the heck happened to the so-useful drop-down buttons I used to get at the top of the page for Active, I'm On, and Watching? I've only got the side-buttons for Active and I'm on - and keep having to scroll to the very top or bottom for Threads I'm Watching

Arrgh!

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 25/10/2016 14:06

My green isn't as neon, thankfully.

I'm salmon pink!
PatricianOfAnkhMorpork · 25/10/2016 14:00

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.

it was fine first thing this morning but broke between 7am and about 10.30.

MistressMerryWeather · 25/10/2016 13:52

It's weird having them both the same colour.

Too much pink.

BolivarAtasco · 25/10/2016 13:48

Whoah! I don't want pink! It's too obvious when reading at work!

MN, please change it back!

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 25/10/2016 13:46

tried changing it anyone else had any sucess getting their forest green back?

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 25/10/2016 13:45

I am pink too and should be green. It's still showing as green in my settings.

SixtiesChildOfWildBlueSkies · 25/10/2016 13:39

Yep, mine have changed too - lurid minty pea green for OPs, brilliant pink for me. Really don't like it. off to find the sunshades

5Foot5 · 25/10/2016 13:00

And my own posts are a wishy-washy pink but I selected silver Sad
