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 - I didn't know there was that feature.

(I have often wished for this feature, just never found it. Have found it now in customise!)

Nargles · 05/08/2015 13:55

ExConstance · 05/08/2015 13:56

Yes for OPs posts and mine. I couldn't follow long threads without it. Yes, I'd like to keep it

uhtceare · 05/08/2015 13:57

Yes and I would like to keep it.

MrsVamos · 05/08/2015 13:58

I use highlights and want to keep it the way it is. Op different colour to me.

Helps with vision. Site changes on mobile were a nightmare last time and HQ & Tech had help from mnetters who suffer with visual issues, epilepsy etc, because the changes were terrible, and various issues users would struggle with hadn't been considered.

Can only use mn intermittently on mobile because of all the white. To permanently lose highlights would probably mean no mnetting anymore for me. Sad

Gruach · 05/08/2015 13:58

Yes and I would like to keep it.

IamtheDevilsAvocado · 05/08/2015 13:59

Please keep this!

Now both OP and my posts are in unreadable green... Please change!

bringmelaughter · 05/08/2015 13:59

Yes and I would like to keep it

TheMaw · 05/08/2015 13:59

Yes, and I would like to keep it.

TheOneWiththeNicestSmile · 05/08/2015 14:00

I opted out of the watch stuff yesterday & lost OP highlight but still had mine

Today I went to Customise to retick the OP highlight option & it has reverted to my original choice - grey - is there going to be a forced change to another colour? Confused

notquitegrownup2 · 05/08/2015 14:00

Yes for OPs posts and mine. Yes and I would like to keep it, pleeease.

popperdoodles · 05/08/2015 14:01

didn't know you could do this

treaclesoda · 05/08/2015 14:01

Yes, I use it and I would like to keep it. It makes it so much easier to read.

Smcgettigan79 · 05/08/2015 14:01

No, I didn't know that you could do this.

But yes - Keep it.

I have often thought this would be useful! changes settings immediately

Minisoksmakehardwork · 05/08/2015 14:03

I like it. I'd love it to be on the app too as that's how I access mumsnet most of the time.

SabrinnaInUtopia · 05/08/2015 14:03

Yes, I highlight my posts and op's posts different colours. Yes I would like to keep this please!

TheFormidableMrsC · 05/08/2015 14:05

I had no idea this option had ever been available and would love it use it. Very useful with long threads as others have said...

loveliesbleeding1 · 05/08/2015 14:05

Yes and I would like to keep it.

StarlingMurmuration · 05/08/2015 14:06
