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 want to keep it!

babymouse · 05/08/2015 17:39

I love this feature - wish it was available on the app!

CoogerAndDark · 05/08/2015 17:41

Yes, I like it and would like to keep it. I like being able to see the OP's posts in particular ( not that bothered about my own as I know what I said and when)

CarpeJugulum · 05/08/2015 17:41

Yes and please can we keep it!

ginnybag · 05/08/2015 17:41

God, yes, I use it. I couldn't cope without it!

TruJay · 05/08/2015 17:44

Definitely want to keep it, difficult without it.

LilyTheSavage · 05/08/2015 17:45

Yes and I would like to keep it please.

ScrambledSmegs · 05/08/2015 17:46

It's very useful

Yes! And I'd like to keep it please.

BalloonSlayer · 05/08/2015 17:50

I use it (and it is still working for me but I am on PC)

OP posts are green and my posts are very pale pink, which is quite hard to see but that suits me.

I really would like to keep it.

OldBloodCallsToOldBlood · 05/08/2015 17:51

Yes and I would like to keep it.

Misknit · 05/08/2015 17:51

Yes and I would like to keep it.

Yes and I would like to keep it.

MauriceTheCat · 05/08/2015 17:51

Yes yes yes... makes reading threads so much easier

CornishYarg · 05/08/2015 17:52

Yes and I would like to keep it

NotSleepyAtAll · 05/08/2015 17:53

Yes I used it and I would like to keep it. I find it helps with longer posts to single out posts from the OP.

mummylin2495 · 05/08/2015 17:53

I also use it, a lot, and want to keep it.

Yes
Yes
Wish it was option on app

ophiotaurus · 05/08/2015 17:55

Yes I use it and yes I want to keep it.
I don't mind which colours as long as OP, my posts and MNHQ are each a different colour.

PlainHunting · 05/08/2015 17:58

Used it
Liked it
Would like it to stay

EggOnTheFloor · 05/08/2015 18:03

Tried it and loved it. Would be less user friendly if MNHQ got rid.
