Blue dot in the PM envelope

Dear MNHQ

Is the blue dot in the PM envelope here to stay? It doesn't catch the eye like the red one did & would be quite easy to miss. Sorry to moan ...

Hello

Thanks for flagging this one - I'm not sure what the story is but we'll look into it.

Morning. And yes, the red dot has been changed to a blue dot, just to make it all look nicer and more "designed"

We reckon that, once we've all got used to it, it shouldn't make that much difference, especially as you can get email alerts about new PMs aswell.

But we should have let you know this change was happening, rather than leave you to find out for yourselves. We're sorry about that. Blush And we'll try not to do it again

We hear what you're saying but we'd like to let the blue dot "settle in" for a bit.

We can def look at making it a more visible blue, though...

@MarshaBrady

The blue makes me feel like my post has been put in the fridge .

Sounds quite attractive in this weather, MarshaBrady Smile

@Thumbwitch

Just adding another "I CAN'T SEE THE EFFING BLUE DOT LIKE I COULD THE RED ONE" and because of it I missed a fairly important PM from 6 days ago. :(

The situation has been retrieved but the blue dot is FAR LESS VISIBLE and poncey designy or not, it DOES NOT DO THE JOB IT IS SUPPOSED TO.

I'm a little bit sorry for shouting but not much because I HATE THE BLUE DOT and want the red blob back, please.

I'm not colour blind either but the blue just doesn't stand out against all the other blue/purple/mauves on the page, whereas the RED one DID and therefore was FAR MORE SENSIBLE.

Please bring back the red blob. Thanks

Don't worry, we've seen your post. We're having a think. Smile

Okay, okay you win - we shall make it red again. Poor KarineMumsnet (designer) will be sad but we shall make it up to her in other ways. Gin.

Thanks as ever for your irksome constructive feedback. Grin

@BIWI

Did you warn KarineMumsnet of our fondness for change, Justine? Grin

(And I really, really think we need a gin emoticon ...)

I think she's getting the message Grin.

@Thumbwitch

Can you please give us a clue as to when we might expect normal service to resume? Thanks

Afternoon. Afraid I don't know but we will try to find out for you.

Should be any moment now

Morning. We should be back to red for everyone now. Smile
