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 :)

Bertie could you provide a link to the Site Stuff thread...it's not leaping out at me!!

CoffeeandChocolateplease · 05/08/2015 12:36

Yes, and I would like to keep it. Not bothered about the colour.

SqueezyCheeseWeasel · 05/08/2015 12:36

Yes, keep it.

SqueezyCheeseWeasel · 05/08/2015 12:37

I use it.

UrethraFranklin1 · 05/08/2015 12:37

I think you have misrepresented the issue. Unless I have misunderstood, its only the option to choose which colour is the OP and which is you has been removed, instead giving one set colour for OP posts and one set colour for your own.

You have given the impression that it will be/is no longer the ability to highlight the OP/own posts at all, which as far as I can see is not the case at all?

Highlight posts has not been removed, colour customisation for highlight posts has been removed.

winterinmadeira · 05/08/2015 12:37

Yes and I want to keep it

steiner8 · 05/08/2015 12:37

FlopIsMyParentingGuru · 05/08/2015 12:38

I use it and would be really frustrated to lose it

SoreArms · 05/08/2015 12:40

Mine is still working too FYI

NatashaRomanov · 05/08/2015 12:40

Do you use the highlight posts feature?

Yes. And I would like to keep it!

Even though I only realised today, how to set it up!

Sparklingbrook · 05/08/2015 12:40

Bertie mentions 'specific colour' in her OP Urethra.

AnnoyedByAlfieBear · 05/08/2015 12:40

Yes, I use it for the op's posts and my own. I love it!
It doesn't seem to work on the app.

HarlettOScara · 05/08/2015 12:40

I use it and would find some threads unreadable without it.

Please don't take away our highlighting!!

ZacharyQuack · 05/08/2015 12:40

Yes and I would like to keep it.

Desktop and mobile site.

youarekiddingme · 05/08/2015 12:40

Yes and I want to keep it.

Although my op and personal posts are still highlighted Confused

MrsReiver · 05/08/2015 12:40

Yes, and I'd like to keep it.

mrstiggy · 05/08/2015 12:40

Hell yes and I want to keep it. How else will I keep up with what the OPs argument is? I don't remember names any longer than it takes me to scroll up a screens length. I'd be perminantly lost.

NoSOHisadealbreaker · 05/08/2015 12:41

If you're right Urethra (and I can't find the thread!!) then that's a whole different thing...quite happy to have the colours chosen for me!!

Fiderer · 05/08/2015 12:41

Use it, still have it and want to keep it.
