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.

Rosesareblack · 05/08/2015 21:28

Yes, and I would like to keep it.

Life is too short to read every place marking post while trying to find updates to a thread.

OvertiredandConfused · 05/08/2015 21:28

Yes and I want to keep it

LetTheHayfeverBegin · 05/08/2015 21:29

Yes and I would like to keep it. I find it bloody irritating that it's just disappeared and I can't keep track of what an OP has said. Would seriously think about leaving if it doesn't come back because...well I spend too much time on here anyway, I need an excuse to leave and it just makes reading stuff more laborious.

Coffeecoffeebuzzbuzzbuzz · 05/08/2015 21:31

Yes and I would like to keep it.

crossparsley · 05/08/2015 21:43

Yes I do and I would like to keep it.

I hate reading MN on my pc without this feature (have forgotten my password so read there as not logged in)

Aridane · 05/08/2015 21:44

Yes, and would like to keep it

SiobhanSharpe · 05/08/2015 21:44

Yes. I find it very useful and would really like to keep it.

Kefybaby · 05/08/2015 21:46

Yes and I would like to keep it.

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 05/08/2015 21:46

Yes used it. So useful and hope we can keep it.

ElizabethSpenser · 05/08/2015 21:47

Yes and I would like to keep it

BlueMoonRising · 05/08/2015 21:47

Yes and I would like to keep it.

It is incredible useful for long threads if you want to see what is happening with the op, but not read the whole thing.

I can't see the point in getting rid of it, surely it's straightforward enough to just leave it be?

MammaTJ · 05/08/2015 21:47

I use it and still will use it! It still works!

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 05/08/2015 21:48

Yes and I would like to keep it.
PLEASE!

LifeOfBriony · 05/08/2015 21:49

Yes, I use it on my tablet. I set the OP's posts to one colour and mine to a different colour.
Yes, I would like to keep it, as above.

(The current, new dark green is too dark though; I have commented on this elsewhere).

DogWalker75 · 05/08/2015 21:49

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

(Would have done it if I'd known!!)

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 05/08/2015 21:50

Yes and I'd like to keep it!

Findtheoldme · 05/08/2015 21:50

I highlight mine and OPs post and would use MN less without it as I'm already losing the love so happy for excuses to give up.

pootlebug · 05/08/2015 21:50

Yes I use it all the time and would like to keep it.

WeAllHaveWings · 05/08/2015 21:51

Yes and I would like to keep it!

Hygellig · 05/08/2015 21:51

Yes, I always use the highlight posts feature - mine highlighted in pink and the OP's in green. I find it very useful. I haven't worked out how to do this on the Android app however.
