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 :)

Didn't know it was available, is it on the app?

YES I really like it and want to keep it! I have dyslexia and eyesight problems and it really helps.

I expect I will use the site less without this feature.

What on earth is this all about I wonder? Am on holiday and hardly looking at Mumsnet as only got a proxy kindle and haven't read all this thread or either of the other ones. But what the actual?

MNHQ have said on the other thread that they will fix the colours so that OPs are highlighted throughout and poster's own will be in a different colour.

However, there will only be the two colours, we will no longer be able to select them.

So of you still have your colours as you selected them DO NOT USE 'CUSTOMISE' FOR ANYTHING EVER AGAIN.

Doing so will reset your colours to the 'new' ones.

DaveMinion · 05/08/2015 22:15

Yes I would like to keep it
