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 :)

I wonder if Becca doesn't realise it's a problem because all her posts still appear in blue?

I've PM'd her

Archfarchnad · 05/08/2015 16:42

Yes and I would seriously like to keep it.

Like most others, I'm not bothered too much about which colours they are, but would very much like two different colours for me and the OP, please. So right now I can't do anything in customise for fear it will all go awry and the world will fall apart .

KingscoteStaff · 05/08/2015 16:46

Yes and I would like to keep it.

BrockAuLit · 05/08/2015 16:49

Yes and I would like to keep it.

Would probably stop bothering with mn if it disappeared. A complete pita when I log in on a different computer.

whatarethose · 05/08/2015 16:49

Please keep it. Stupid idea to get rid.

ErrolTheDragon · 05/08/2015 16:49

Thumb - thanks for the warning, I'd already figured that 'if it aint broken dont fix it' and decided not to poke around settings at the moment.

My posts are pink. Nothing wrong with pink as a default so long as male posters get it too. Grin

LuluJakey1 · 05/08/2015 16:49

I don't understand why MNet wanted to change it. Two colours is not much to ask. Why do they want to make our lives more difficult?

Am very upset now. I would not have gone into Customise to see if I had understood what it would do.

Grrrr!

superram · 05/08/2015 16:51

No but I didn't know it existed and have always wanted to be able to do it-reinstate please!

I don't bother with the app, it's crap. I just use the mobile version of the website.
