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 :)

Why do they keep on FAFFING with stuff?

Is tech bored?

Oh, and I would love it if they could add it to the app too

I love it and want to keep it!

Nabootique · 05/08/2015 13:19

I use it, would like to keep it and it still works for me.

whitershadeofpale · 05/08/2015 13:19

I think it's been slightly misrepresented. The ability to highlight is essential, I feel, but what colours they are doesn't matter. I only used the default I believe that was green OP and my posts in pink.

As long as the OP posts are still highlighted, regardlesless of colour, and I can still bookmark, then I'm not fussed.

I don't want to watch every thread I post on though, I use TIO for that.

It wasn't a temporary glitch. They intended to remove the option but leave it working for current users.

Removing the option to highlight was a temporary glitch.
Removing the choice of colours was the intended change.

BrilliantineMortality · 05/08/2015 13:21

Yes and I would like to keep it.

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 05/08/2015 13:21

Op and own posts need to be a different colour. I don't use watched threads so I ignored all the threads about it and won't change anything.

LazyRohazy · 05/08/2015 13:22

Yes and I would like to keep it.

Wonderous · 05/08/2015 13:22

Yes and I'd like to keep it please.

Boofhead · 05/08/2015 13:22

No, but only because I use the app.

It would be a massive improvement if we could highlight the OPs posts and bookmark in the app.

SomethingBad · 05/08/2015 13:22

Yes and I would like to keep it.

trackrBird · 05/08/2015 13:23

Yes, I want it to keep it too.

TheOneWiththeNicestSmile · 05/08/2015 13:23

Yes and I would like to keep it.

But it seems to have been reinstated now anyway?

MythicalKings · 05/08/2015 13:24

I use it, please keep it. Daft not to use it, imo.
