Can I make a Suggestion to the Forum Team?

Is it possible for every post posted by an OP in a thread to be a different colour from all the replies?

I understand that the first post by a poster is a different colour but I think it'd be useful if all their posts on a thread were distinguished from those of others in the same way. It would be especially useful for very long threads in AIBU and Relationships for example, where the OP has commented several times and has added other, perhaps relevant information to flesh out their original question/point/view.

Apologies if this has already been suggested.

Click on Customise and then swop to MN New and it will happen for you.

What Empress said - these options already exist if you go into Customise.

You can also customise the colour of your own posts too - 'tis fab!

You can't do that if you are using the mobile app tho Hmm

Depends on what you're using - it doesn't do this on the Android app, it only does the first post then. My Chrome settings are to highlight all posts, but it just doesn't pull that across to Android. It's so annoying.

But you can do it on the mobile sites and they're better than the apps IMO.

The mobile site is horrible on my phone (Xperia something-or-other). Posts load in different sizes, and the message box is just really weird to write in. The app is much better for that so I prefer to use it, but the lack of coloured posts is irritating too.
