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 the green's a bit lurid :)

Pipbin · 06/08/2015 16:12

My colours have changed just now. It's confusing as it's he opposite of what I had before. However, just like the new mobile site that everyone got their knickers in a knot about a few months ago, I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 06/08/2015 16:13

Oh God. I thought I'd escaped all this but the latest change seems to be universal. I was a lovely deep green and the OP was a pleasant pale green. Now the OP is bright green and I'm lilac, a colour I am not fond of. [cross]

It was all fine as it was!

UnsolvedMystery · 06/08/2015 16:14

Mine has changed now :(
No like horrible green!
Preferred my nice light green

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 06/08/2015 16:14

Yes the green is verging on being a bit glow in the dark.

Dawndonnaagain · 06/08/2015 16:14

Wow, that's bright!

WhitePhantom · 06/08/2015 16:15

Yes yes yes please keep it!

I don't care what colors are used, but please let me continue being able to distinguish between OP's posts, my posts, and everyone else's posts!

RockyRoadster · 06/08/2015 16:17

Oh no, mine has just changed to be a lurid green for the OP instead of the nice silvery grey I had before. Please let me choose the colours I want, this is far too startling! But at least the watch this thread box isn't ticked.

MN - Sort it please.

You've messed with my colours and I'm not happy.

If you don't get tech working on it ASAP I'll be forced to contact the press and do a DM Das Face.

You've been warned!!!!

Orrla · 06/08/2015 16:26

I use it and would like to keep it.

DameMargaretOfChalfont · 06/08/2015 16:26

SAD

BarbaraTheIncredible · 06/08/2015 16:30

Yuck, now I've got green on my desktop. Re-volt-ing. Envy Angry

mummylin2495 · 06/08/2015 16:31

My colours have changed despite the fact I didn't change anything in customise. MN this is utter crap, far from enhancing MN it has detracted from it massively .

Perissa · 06/08/2015 16:31

Mine has just changed too, that new green is awful Sad and I used to have green as my OP colour, but it was nice!

BigRedBall · 06/08/2015 16:31

Since yesterday I've been forced to download the app because every time I turn the page off it doesn't load when I open it again. It's ridiculous and my colours have gone on the app too.

ArtyBat · 06/08/2015 16:31

I've just logged in to find that my colours have now been messed with and I don't like it.

The OP's colouring is now a lurid green which I really, really don't like, and can't bear to look at. Why, Why, Why mess with with something that worked perfectly ok before.

Might have to consider going over to the dark side (stares sternly at Techy, emoticon)

diddl · 06/08/2015 16:35

I want my lavender back!
