Another appreciative one here, thanks @MNHQ

MarshaMelrose · 13/09/2022 02:34

I appreciate that. Thank you. I find it easier to read.

Fullupdowntown1a1 · 13/09/2022 02:30

Personally not a fan, as someone said previously- if you’re counting. It feels quite cult-like to me. probably not helped by the reality of peaceful protesters being arrested in the UK. Others on the thread seem to value it, but I wonder if it might alienate as many/more people than it comforts.

Neurodivergent and failing sight. It is makes it harder for me to read but knock yerselves out.

Monty27 · 13/09/2022 02:21

There was me thinking I'd done something by accident clever.
Yes I love it 👍🏻

I find the increased contrast makes it easier to read, so I like it. In terms of tributes, it's pretty subtle, so seems reasonable and inoffensive.

NumberTheory · 13/09/2022 01:21

Also don’t appreciate, if you’re counting.

Whatiswrongwithmyknee · 12/09/2022 22:37

I wish you hadn't. Lots of people are not mourning.

Mywatchis · 12/09/2022 22:11

Thank you

Butitsnotfunnyisititsserious · 12/09/2022 22:09

Thank you Mumsnet

Ahf22 · 12/09/2022 22:05

Thank you mumsnet, a decent thing to do.

(you’ll never please all of the people all the time… but I expect you knew that) Wink

AdoraBell · 12/09/2022 20:30

Thank you

AnyFucker · 12/09/2022 20:29

I appreciate the gesture, thank you

It’s a temporary thing, I assume it will revert to normal after HRH funeral

a minority find the contrast difficult, I assume.

ChandlersDad · 12/09/2022 20:29

Performative.

TQIDLLTK · 12/09/2022 20:28

Thank you from Scotland MNHQ

PAFMO · 12/09/2022 20:27

Thank you.

MiddleParking · 12/09/2022 20:26

Yikes

TastesLikeFlavourlessFizz · 12/09/2022 20:24

Neurodivergent here.

I’m just finding it weird because it’s different but I’ll absolutely adjust. I’ll probably end up preferring it tbh.

What I AM finding weird is the timing. I love the queen and have no issue with the sentiment but shouldn’t it have happened on Thursday/Friday or not at all?

Vinylloving · 12/09/2022 20:22

A just why from me too, why does this site need to make any 'comment' at all? I don't get it

syntoandtoast · 12/09/2022 20:14

Thank you it's a lovely touch

KenzosFlower · 12/09/2022 19:22

Not appreciated here.

Rainallnight · 12/09/2022 19:14

I find it over the top and slightly ridiculous. There is no need.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 12/09/2022 17:15

i very much approve of the gesture

BringBackCoffeeCreams · 12/09/2022 17:14

MangoBiscuit · 12/09/2022 17:04

I like the gesture, thank you MNHQ.

For those struggling with it, please can I ask how / why?

It's not actually black, it's "midnight", the same as the colour as the fonts used throughout the site. The contrast is actually slightly higher than the white on blue. I would have thought that would make it easier? I have no visual disability, so have no first hand experience.

It's the higher contrast that makes it harder for me to read. The white just blurs. Black on white is ok but white on black is ureadable.

EmmaH2022 · 12/09/2022 17:14

Came to say the same, thank you.
