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 :)

Very pretty please with sugar on top :D

elliejjtiny · 05/08/2015 18:59

I use it and I find it really helpful. Especially on those threads with loads of pages of people placemarking. It's much easier to see if the op has been back when the OP's posts are highlighted.

MadameJosephine · 05/08/2015 19:00

Yes and I would like to keep it

Yes would like to keep highlighting option a d can we also change trending back to most active? Trending makes me feel sick

OTheHugeManatee · 05/08/2015 19:02

Keep it. Was not using because didn't know I could.

AuntieStella · 05/08/2015 19:02

Yes, and I would like to keep it

(And question: 8% of all users? Or 8% of regular (however defined) posters?)

SunshineAndShadows · 05/08/2015 19:03

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

But it sounds very useful!

GurlwiththeCurl · 05/08/2015 19:04

Yes, and would like to keep it.

PocketFluff · 05/08/2015 19:04

Yes, I use it and definitely want to keep it. Makes reading long posts so much easier.

Ihavemyownname · 05/08/2015 19:04
