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 :)

If possible, it's not going to spoil my day if it goes but y'know...

UnsolvedMystery · 05/08/2015 12:53

I am confused about what option has been changed or lost!
I still have the OP and my posts highlighted and find it invaluable.

SoupDragon · 05/08/2015 12:54

I am confused about what option has been changed or lost!

The option to choose which colours are used.

TheHouseOnBellSt · 05/08/2015 12:55

Yes! I love it! I only recently learned about it!

TheHouseOnBellSt · 05/08/2015 12:56

I'm still seeing my posts highlighted on this thread.

DCITennison · 05/08/2015 12:56

The op definitely reads to me (and it seems to many others) that mnhq are proposing the removal of the highlighting feature altogether.

Very glad that's not the case, hadn't seen the other thread.

Crinkle77 · 05/08/2015 12:56

Please keep

Cocolepew · 05/08/2015 12:57

Yes and I would like to keep it

PuppyMonkey · 05/08/2015 12:57

Usually use the app.

Wish the app had this feature (also that you could see when people post pix).

Don't want email notifications about threads of any description either.

Would like a new kitten.

Oldraver · 05/08/2015 12:57

Yes and I would like to keep it.

OP's are one colour, mine are another

Aprildaisy · 05/08/2015 12:58

Yes would like to keep it

Ellypoo · 05/08/2015 12:58

Yes, but don't know how to use it in the app (would be really helpful when scrolling through long threads to see where I got up to last time!).

Would like to keep it please!

travailtotravel · 05/08/2015 12:59

Yes. It's invaluable. Don't get rid, pls!

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 05/08/2015 12:59

I also have the OP's posts in one colour and my own in another.

5Foot5 · 05/08/2015 13:00

Yes and I would very much like to keep it and I have no idea how other people keep track of threads without using it. I will be VERY disappointed if it goes.

Gruntfuttock · 05/08/2015 13:00
