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! Keep it.

mummylin2495 · 05/08/2015 22:32

Thanks boreof I am glad you posted that warning. I still have my original colours and don't want to change them. What are the two colours MN have decided on ?

CrabbyTheCrabster · 05/08/2015 22:34

Mine still does this.

Yes, and I definitely want to keep it!

Notso · 05/08/2015 22:39

Yes, keep it.
I don't know how anyone can MN without it. Reading all the OP's posts is hard without it.

Smokeyrobinson · 05/08/2015 22:42

Yes I use it & yes need to keep it

Parietal · 05/08/2015 22:44

Yes and I would like to keep it.

BeanieA · 05/08/2015 22:45

Please, please keep it!! I find it very useful for reading the OP comments quickly.

TheSweeper · 05/08/2015 22:47

Yes and I would like to keep it.

madhairday · 05/08/2015 22:49

Yes and please keep

CrabbyTheCrabster · 05/08/2015 22:53

Nooooooooooooooo! I opted out of the automatic watch thing and now I have the fucking hideous green thing. Angry

What on earth possessed them to do such a thing?? Confused

This might be the thing that gets me off MN - no way I can look at that colour all the time. Every cloud has a silver lining!

JadziaSnax · 05/08/2015 22:54

Yes, I use it and it's invaluable.

clam · 05/08/2015 22:54

Yes, keep it please. Invaluable when skin in thread to see if OP has returned with updates.
Mind you, haven't sussed out how to do it on my phone. Will investigate...

NoWeepingBicycleMonkeys · 05/08/2015 22:55

IMnotsoHO Highlighting is essential

PLUS "watched threads" should show in order of the latest post Grin

RosaliesGinBottle · 05/08/2015 22:56

Yes and I would like to keep it!

OrangeVase · 05/08/2015 22:56

Yes it really helps. I am green and OP is pink! It helps me keep my place and to check for updates from the OP - which is the important point.

KEEP IT PLEASE

WellyMummy · 05/08/2015 22:58

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

But have been wanting this feature - where is it?

SlinkyB · 05/08/2015 23:00

Yes, and I'd like to keep it.

mrspink27 · 05/08/2015 23:06

Yes and I would like to keep it.

DepecheNO · 05/08/2015 23:08

Yes and I would like to keep it! I would like it on the app, too.

(Mine's working. Relied on it just two threads ago!)
