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 :)

I REALLY struggle to read black on green, so it will be the end of mumsnet for me if they don't change it, I have to zoom the text really large to read it

oldnewmummy · 05/08/2015 13:01

Yes and would like to keep it. Quite often scroll through a long thread to see the OPs updates.

DustWitch · 05/08/2015 13:03

Only use the app.

But I agree that this function would be great to have on the app also.

AllPizzasGreatAndSmall · 05/08/2015 13:03

Yes and I would like to keep it.

BerylStreep · 05/08/2015 13:04

Yes and I would like to keep it.

I was unaware of the feature on the app, but will change my settings to use it (if possible)

PurpleDaisies · 05/08/2015 13:04

To go against the grain no

I don't care what colour the op's posts and mind are highlighted in as long as they are able to be highlighted. That is not changing. I have only ever used the standard colours.

Thefacttheyact1234 · 05/08/2015 13:05

Yes and I'd like to keep it.

NoArmaniNoPunani · 05/08/2015 13:05

Yes, would like to keep it. It's impossible to look through really long threads for OPs updates without it.

Another one who'd desperately like it on the app - make it much more useable.

Can't fathom how anyone can keep track without it!

SetPhasersTaeMalkie · 05/08/2015 13:10

It doesn't seem to have changed for me. My posts are the colour I chose, sort of a pinky/purple colour. Have I got the OP wrong? I thought it had already changed.

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 05/08/2015 13:11
