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 want to keep it.

emwithme · 05/08/2015 20:38

Yes and I would like to keep it

I currently use green for OP, light blue for MNHQ and grey/silver for my posts but I don't care what they are, so if MNHQ said the only way we could have this was to have blue/red/yellow then that would work for me.

Andrewofgg · 05/08/2015 20:39

I like it, please keep it!

ADishBestEatenCold · 05/08/2015 20:41

Yes, and I would like to keep it. Before 'finding' this feature, I often found following a thread to be rather irritating and used mumsnet a lot less. I think removal ofthe feature, would likely see me again using mumsnet less.

Yes and I would like to keep it.

I only use the app and would love this feature thanks.

shellsocks · 05/08/2015 21:05

Yes and would like to keep it.

fuctifino · 05/08/2015 21:09

Yes, it's invaluable.
I highlight OP in one colour and my posts in another.
It means I can scan a long thread to see if OP has updated and locate it easily.

morningsarepants · 05/08/2015 21:09

I didn't know it existed and would like to do it! How do I set it up?

PoundingTheStreets · 05/08/2015 21:11

Yes and I would like to keep it.

VivaLeBeaver · 05/08/2015 21:12

I live the colour change feature and find it very useful.

I'm very pissed off about threads been added to my watch list when I reply. Apparantly if I go and turn this feature off I will lose my colours.

TippyHaha · 05/08/2015 21:12

Yes and I would like to keep it.

sparkle101 · 05/08/2015 21:13

Yes I use it and would like to keep it.

winkywinkybumbum · 05/08/2015 21:24

Always use it. Please keep it!

Foxesinmygarden · 05/08/2015 21:25

Yes I use it and want to keep it

CalmYoBadSelf · 05/08/2015 21:25

Yes, I use it all the time and would like to keep it. I accidentally logged myself out earlier and panicked when I realised posts were not highlighted. Was pathetically relieved when I logged back in and they came back Blush

Now all you need to sort is the millions of sticky threads that clutter up my phone version and I'll be happy (Yes I know they vanish if I log out but am sick of having to log out and back in again)

Jux · 05/08/2015 21:26

Yes and I would like to keep it.
