To ask your opinion on this very important site issue?

[BertieBotts]

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 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 :)

Yuk Yuk Yuk

Give me back my colours!!!!!

Oh mines just changed. I haven't done anything and I'd had a lovely lavender before. Nice and calm, not the yuk green it is now.

Yes and I would like to keep it.

Yes and I would like to keep it

Christ, the OP's post has gone a putrid shade of greeeeeeen

Yes and I want to keep it - great on longer threads.

This is serious stuff. Let's have a petition for the recall of Parliament to discuss this very great national emergency.

Hey guys!!! Colours are back!!!

I'm PURPLE! I can breathe again!

I'm suddenly purple too. And I picked pink, but I quite like the purple.

Keep

The lavender is actually nice and subtle.

The arsenic green not so much.

Where is MNHQ's resident design expert? Can't you GET Farrow and Ball on this thing?

I suppose the lilac is OK, though it seems a bit similar to the MNHQ blue (unless that's changed too). The OP green is paler than I had it before, but acceptable.

I was always lavender.

It's that puke green that's boiling my piss.

Can't you GET Farrow and Ball on this thing?

Oh no, we really don't need 50 shades of (tweely named) grey!

I would be content with Old Rope.

Yes and I would like to keep it

Yes I use it and want to keep it please.

I didn't know about this feature, but now I do I would like to use it/ keep it. Thanks for drawing my attention to it.

Lavender was always the default colour. I turned highlight posts on and never bothered with custom colours. I've always liked being purple.

Yes and I would like to keep it

Yes - because had I known it existed I would have used it often and would like the opportunity to do so!

Yes and I would like to keep it.

I hate the green, it's foul, like a swamp!

Yes I use it and love it. Please keep it.

I just reported one of the posts on this thread to raise the issue of the green. The shade is just too bright and deep. It is hard to read black letters against a background like this. There is a wealth of information available about readability and color usage. Black letters need a lighter background.
