MNHQ - Love the new 'Highlight posts by the thread author' thing, but...

[FerminaUrbinoDaza]

...the colour is utterly revolting. Why is the whole post shaded with the most disgusting colour known to MN? I can kind of see it working with the MN classic, but it's soooo incongruous on MN new. Why???

Moan, moan, whinge, whinge. But, above all, thanks for the fab new feature

Opinion is divided on the the other thread as to whether it is brown or grey. (Justine says it's olive green, but we're all ignoring her)

Help... i can't see it. What am i doing wrong????

What highlight post by original poster thing??

It is a horrible colour, kinda sludge brown/green, couldn't you have done a nice Blue to match the MN colour scheme?

I'd call it beige, or nude if I were trendy. Will obviously vary depending on the colour calibration of the screen.

Presumably it's a standard HTML colour, but there are plenty of those.

Off to fine the other thread...

You switch it on via an option in customise.

It would be better if just the 'header' line (i.e. the blue line with the poster's name and "add message" etc) of the post was in a different shade, but the post itself was still black on white.

Oooh!

You have to switch it on in Customise, if you can't see it.

Brown on my phone but much lighter on laptop

Olive green and I love it (creeps up justines Arese).

I couldn't care about colour....it is fab.

Now can we also have an option to highlight our own posts in a different colour.

Maybe plum would complement perfectly
