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 Grin 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 :)

No, but I didn't know I could do it but would like to use it if I could.

Solo · 05/08/2015 13:43

Yes and I would like to keep it. It's been invaluable imo!!

emotionsecho · 05/08/2015 13:44

Yes I use it and yes I want to keep it as it is.

I can't believe the excuse that it is difficult to maintain this function, but then I've always suspected that the background Tech stuff on this site is more Ford Focus than Rolls Royce hence the multiple, regular issues with the mobile site particularly at night and there is never any explanation forthcoming from MNHQ despite numerous threads requesting one.

Goshthatsspicy · 05/08/2015 13:44

Imperative for me!

ABunchOfGrapes · 05/08/2015 13:45

Yes I use it and yes I love it.

HoobleDooble · 05/08/2015 13:45

Reading and running so sorry if this thread's moved on but;

Yes I use it and yes Id like it to stay please!

00100001 · 05/08/2015 13:45

KEEP IT!!!

The only reason 8% of people use it, is because it FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE to find the options!!

CotedePablo · 05/08/2015 13:46

Yes and I would like to keep it.

Sleepingpenguin · 05/08/2015 13:46

Yes and I would like to keep it!

pretend · 05/08/2015 13:47

Yes, but I didn't know it was available on the mobile site.

I would like to keep it (and would like someone to tell me how to get it on the mobile site!)

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 05/08/2015 13:47

Yes and I would like to keep it.

AwkwardSquad · 05/08/2015 13:47

Yes and I would like to keep it.

choccyp1g · 05/08/2015 13:47

Yes and want to keep it

BernardlookImaprostituterobotf · 05/08/2015 13:49

Yes I use it and would like to keep it.

I selected the colours I have because they were the ones I could read properly and easily. I don't mind particularly having the colours chosen if we can poll but I would mind a lot if they just went with the green for example, really hard for me to read.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 05/08/2015 13:49

Do you use the highlight posts feature? HELL YES!

If yes
Yes, I tried it, but I didn't like it. - who wouldn't like it?! Confused
Yes, I use it on the desktop and mobile site but not the app. I don't have the app and I hate the mobile site. I keep switching to the Desktop site on my tablet because I hate the mobile site.
Yes and I would like to keep it. This option, with bells on. PLEASE keep it!

perrita · 05/08/2015 13:50

No I only use the app but I would LOVE that feature on here

elizadolittlechoc · 05/08/2015 13:51

Yes wan it please

perrita · 05/08/2015 13:51

No I only use the app but I would LOVE that feature on here

FurryDogMother · 05/08/2015 13:51

Yes, and I too want to keep it!

PiggyPlumPie · 05/08/2015 13:52

Yes and I would like to keep it Smile

fuzzpig · 05/08/2015 13:52

Yes I love this feature! It's really helpful for keeping track of OP's posts and reminding myself what I've already written.

CanadianJohn · 05/08/2015 13:53

Yes and I would like to keep it

BoreOfWhabylon · 05/08/2015 13:53

Yes and I would like to keep it.

OP's and own posts need to be different colours.

AlwaysDancing1234 · 05/08/2015 13:53

Yes and I'd like to keep it.
Would be good if there was an option button on long threads to be able to locate and read all the OP's posts easily without having to scroll through a dozen pages of comments.

moab · 05/08/2015 13:54

Yes and I would like to keep it.
