Who actually likes the new MN colours?

[StuntAcorn]

What was wrong with the old ones?

And why was the 😄 emoji taken away (and please may we have it back, if you're implementing site changes anyway?!)

No I don't like the new site colours.

And no don't bring that damned laugh emoji back. Getting rid of that was a good decision by MN and we have been managing well without it for a good while now.

And actually there were lots of calls for the laugh emoji to be taken away and a lot of debate about it on Site Stuff. Whereas I didn't see any threads calling for a change in the colours and I didn't see any debate about it prior to them implementing the colour change.

I hate the "my posts" box.

I bloody know they're mine!

I do 😁

I'm ambivalent about them. I would like the laugh react back though.

I don’t mind them.

I like them 😍

Why was the emoji taken away? I feel I've missed the back story there.

What is tbe point of My Posts box?

I thought it might bring up all my comments on any particular thread but
nothing happens when I click on it.

The blue of the post titles is too light which makes it hard to read against a white background. Previous colour palette was much more accessible.

Don’t mind the colours and I want the 😂 back too!

I dislike them

I dislike them and particularly the insipid peachy pinky colour.

Is this why the op posts have turned pale blue?

People were using it to laugh at posters, not at their posts - so somebody would post something heartfelt about their history of childhood sexual abuse, and some sicko would laugh at them. Knowing it wasn’t reportable, or even visible to anyone else.

Yes the peach/salmon colour in particular is revolting.

I like them, much fresher looking.

The new colours look like they've been deliberately designed to appeal to children - at least those without sensory issues or sight-related disabilities.

Bit odd, considering that MN is definitely a site for adults. Will they also be offering free lollipops or Labubus to encourage more new users to sign up?

🙋

Me, I do.

Colours are fine now I’ve found my sunglasses 😎

No, let’s not have the laughing emoji back. It was being used to mock people. If people want to be cunts, at least have the balls to do it so everyone can see.

It always makes me think of those ghastly trousers that ultra-posh Hooray Henry types wear at the regatta!

And the boxes that say "my posts" and "original poster". I thought that's what our chosen colours represented. The MNet community, historically, I thought was regarded as having a bit of intellect. It feels like dumbing down. We'll have Health Visitors popping onto the baby threads soon

Pink and blue though, with a touch of maroon 😂

Who chose the colours?
I think we should have a vote!

Tory Blue with Insipid Blush 🤭

It was taken away because a lot of posters were using it to mock and bully other posters. Using it to laugh at posters whose comments they disagreed with. It was causing distress to people.

I like the new colours, it looks clean and fresh to me.

I don’t like it, the blue hurts my eyes 🙈

It was the epitome of Why We Can't Have Nice Things... but sadly it did have to go, because of the nasty arseholes.
