Just realised the different colour of peoples names are because they can either be clicked on or not

Come over to the bar Katy! Have enough to drink and fall over like me, then you can be black, blue and purple all at the same time!

I don't have purple - why can't I have purple - I like purple

How very dare you! Are you suggesting I like a drink! TBH, I've left my glasses at work, so I'm not even sure who I'm talking too, let alone what colour they are!

Ah, yes, black and blue is a fancy new MN New thing.

It's as you were in purple and blue in MN Classic.

CompareTheMeerkat · 25/02/2009 21:43

Have looked in MN new and I see what the black and blue is going on about. I don't have a profile as I have name changed and haven't yet moved my profile. Might do it I suppose.

PlumBumMum · 25/02/2009 21:42

Ah, yes, well that's because they were in the Bar.

Hmm, names are supposed to go purple if you've clicked on them to see that person's profile.

But maybe it's a bit different in MN Classic.
Will have a quick peek.

littleboysblue · 25/02/2009 21:42

Everybodies name is blue.....
Oh well

PlumBumMum · 25/02/2009 21:42

I'm in classic, and when you came along Maureen you are purple (not from drink) but because I had been on your profile to see your lovely cakes last week, everyone else BLUE exp me

CompareTheMeerkat · 25/02/2009 21:40

Is it only in Mumsnet new it is like this? All names are blue in Classic, but go purple if I have ever looked at them.

MaureenMLove · 25/02/2009 21:40

Er, sorry to put a spanner in the works, so to speak, but I have been doing a bit of a control test myself.

I arrived in the bar, to find one person with a purple name and everyone else in fetching blue.

I clicked on a poster with a profile and all her posts then turned purple.

THEN, I clicked on poster without a profile and she turned purple too.

Someone else then arrived and said that she couldn't see any purple, just black or blue!

HelenMumsnet · 25/02/2009 21:39

No indeed, watsthestory - so get your Profile done or else!

littleboysblue · 25/02/2009 21:38

Now I really am dim. Where are peoples names different colours?

BrownSuga · 25/02/2009 21:38

mmmm I suppose it does away with that little yellow note thing on the right.

I'm still only seeing blue names though, and I've refreshed.

Ok

If the name is black, that poster doesn't have a profile. (And should be ashamed!)

If the name is blue, the poster does have a profile - which you can see by rolling your cursor over the name and clicking the link that (oh so cleverly) pops up.

KatyMac · 25/02/2009 21:35

But if you click on the name it takes you to the profile (doesn't it? Katymac goes off to check)
