To ask your opinion on this very important site issue?

[BertieBotts]

So mumsnet have recently changed the option to highlight both OP's and your own posts in a specific colour. They claim that only 8% of posters use this feature and hence it's unneeded.

I and some others disagree So please if you would, can you answer the following questions for me? Either to protest the change or to support MNHQ, I don't mind, just interested in this 8%. Copy and paste your answer.

No discussion of the issue (if possible) - there are already two threads in Site Stuff about it. If you want to discuss it, here's one: Link

So firstly:
Do you use the highlight posts feature?

If yes
Yes, I tried it, but I didn't like it.
Yes, I use it on the desktop and mobile site but not the app.
Yes and I would like to keep it.

If no
No, I didn't know that you could do this.
Not interested in a highlighting option.
Only use the app and it's not an option on there.

Ta very much :)

Ah right, I think you're right SoupDragon. I had misread this comment:

^Hello,
We've been trying to reduce the number of items in customise and have a clear out of some of the rarely used options.

As part of that we have removed the option to choose different colours. It shouldn't have changed the choice you had already though. ^

And assumed that meant "choosing any colour other than white". But you're right it just meant different highlighting options.

However the first time I went into customise there was NO option to select highlighting. Not just the colour option, the highlighting option was gone completely. So it did seem as though they had disabled it. Perhaps it was unintentional.

I also don't mind what colour it is as long as it's readable, and different colours for OP and own posts. The green isn't massively readable IMO and looks really out of place (but this is getting into the realms of discussion which I'd meant to keep on the other thread...)

Yes and I would like to keep it

YY, sleep :)

Yes I use it and want to keep it.

Do you use the highlight posts feature?

If yes
Yes and I would like to keep it.

I can't imagine how else you make sure you read all the OPs threads and understand the situation.

Yes and I would like to keep it.

I've been using it ever since it was introduced and find it very useful as I am on several long running threads.

I misunderstood, too. I don't care what the colours are, but I care very much that the highlighting remains. And I think that highlighting should be the default, if it still isn't.

Yes keep it please.

Yes and I would like to keep it .

Yes I use both. Easier to keep up with what the op says.

Yes and I would like to keep it.

Yes I use it and would like it on the app too.

Yes and I would like to keep it.

Yes, I use it and want to keep it.

It's so east to scroll down for updates from the OP.

yes. keep it.

It's changed already - OP posts in green and so are mine now!
Grrrr..... I like mine in purple.
Why would you change that?

EASY - oops
