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 :)

Yes and I would like to keep it!

Use it for OP & my own posts. Makes reading some threads so much easier.

Please don't remove this feature. I am willing to send Gin if that helps you to decide to keep things as they are!

Bettercallsaul1 · 05/08/2015 14:59

Definitely want to keep highlighting option - don't honestly think long - or any! - threads could exist without it.

Personally I don't care which two colours MNHQ pick but it's an important feature for some, so all present options should be kept.

RockyRoadster · 05/08/2015 15:00

Yes, I use it and prefer to choose my own colours.

blibblibs · 05/08/2015 15:00

Yes and I would like to keep it.

LayMeDown · 05/08/2015 15:00

Yes and I would like to keep it.

TerrorAustralis · 05/08/2015 15:01

No, I didn't know you could do this. Will definitely use in future if it's kept!

GoodOnPaper · 05/08/2015 15:01

Didn't know you could do this - have long thought it wd be useful to find all the ops posts on long threads! So yes please keep. Now I need to work out how to do it...

Powaqa · 05/08/2015 15:01

Yes and I would like to keep it.

thegreylady · 05/08/2015 15:03

No, I didn't know you could do this. I would use it, sounds useful.

CwtchesAndCuddles1 · 05/08/2015 15:14

Yes and I would like to keep it.

DopeyDawg · 05/08/2015 15:14

Yes I use highlight of mine and OP's posts.
I would like to keep it as I would never keep track otherwise.
I have short term memory issues and could not remember OP's name to track whilst scrolling otherwise.
Don't care re colour.

PetrovaFossil1 · 05/08/2015 15:15

Yes, I use it and wish it was also available on the app.

PetrovaFossil1 · 05/08/2015 15:15

Yes, I use it and wish it was also available on the app.

PrimalLass · 05/08/2015 15:15

Yes and I would like to keep it.

I don't care what the colours are.

I wish it worked on the app too.

Toomuch2young · 05/08/2015 15:17

Yep use it and keep it! Please!

PatricianOfAnkhMorpork · 05/08/2015 15:20

Yes I highlight OP and my own posts. No I do not want to lose it as its far too useful

Do you use the highlight posts feature?
YES

If yes
YES AND I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT.

(I would like to add -- thanks for the extremely helpful highlighting of the first post in light grey, because I really needed to be able to see that the first post is the first post. Hmm)

MarjorieWinklepicker · 05/08/2015 15:24

I use it and would like to keep it. Makes reading threads so much easier.
