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 but I don't feel a need to choose my own colours, and would go with a MN standard.

DoJo · 05/08/2015 12:31

Yes and I would like to keep it.

When they say 8% of users, do they mean active users who post on the site, or 8% of those who are registered?

I use it- mine is still working, and I'd like to keep it.

FluffyMcnuffy · 05/08/2015 12:32

I used to use it but now I'm on mobile I don't know how! I'd love to use it!

LizzyUseless · 05/08/2015 12:33

Poofus · 05/08/2015 12:33

Yes! And I would (very much) like to keep it.

Pastamancer · 05/08/2015 12:33

Yup, still working here

Elvish · 05/08/2015 12:34

I use it, I want to keep it.

And as a PP said, please add it to the app which would be much easier to use with it.

youngestisapyscho · 05/08/2015 12:34

Yes I would like to keep it.

IrenetheQuaint · 05/08/2015 12:34

Yes and I would like to keep it, but not bothered about colour choice.

SoreArms · 05/08/2015 12:34

Yes I use it and yes I'd like to keep it! It's invaluable on longer threads or even just went you want to check what op is saying

magimedi · 05/08/2015 12:34

doradoo · 05/08/2015 12:36

Yes - most useful feature - please keep it.

chipsandpeas · 05/08/2015 12:36

yes i use it and would like to see it on the app if possible as well

its handy to see when a OP has updated without having to remmeber usernames

kali110 · 05/08/2015 12:36

Yes i use it!! I want to keep it!Maybe some people cant use it as its not an option on the app or phone!
I won't come on here much if this goes as trying to follow threads would be horrendous without it.
