To ask MNHQ to highlight OP and my posts in a thread.

[raltheraffe]

Sometimes I skim read a long thread to look for OP's updates and my posts and their immediate responses.

I cannot understand why OP's posts are indistinguishable from other posters. They should be in a different shade of blue so I can pick them out more easily.

While I am on the topic I will repeat my request for a tiny violin smiley for when someone is on a self-pity trip.

Just customise the posts.

You can do this.
Through customise I think.
I have done it

You can customise your colours to do this already.

You can change your settings on the desktop and mobile versions to do this. As far as I know doesn't work on the app. Which is a PITA.

Select customise, and you can pick a colour for your posts and a colour formOP posts, and it will apply to all threads.

Which version are you in?

The ordinary (desktop) site already has those functions - the highlight OP's and own posts that is, not tiny violins. Look under 'customise'

YABU as customise as at the top, just click on it.

On the mobile app you can't do this

You show up as blue to me, so it can be done :)

That option already exists. Go to customise.

I am on my phone.

Yab a bit u to be asking for something that already exists.

Yup. Agree with Trills.
YABU to ask for something that is already there.

OP's posts are all green, and my posts are all purple on my PC (slightly different colours but still distinguishable on my tablet).

I have done it now, thank you for the information I did not know about it.

Now all I need is the tiny violin emoticon.

is there a way to do this on the app? I have it online but find the phone app a bit frustrating for this same reason.

It was a while before I knew how to do this. Makes mumsnetting much more efficient!

I don't understand why the OP's name isn't under the thread title. Sometimes I can't remember thread titles but a persons name often jogs my ancient memory.

Does it work on the app? I haven't figured out how to do it if so

MNHQ really need to sort out the app - it's pants but it's the main way I use MN. I've been on here over two years and I really thought they would have done something about it by now.

Can't customise AFAIK
Really hard to find where I got to when returning to a long thread
No pics
...

On the mobile site, and the OPs posts are highlighted in a deeper grey. You need to customise it.

Hallo
Thanks so much for flagging this. I'm afraid I can't help much.

Mainly because it's not my department as I live with the DSes and the Peace and Love twins in the sticks MNHQ country outposts.

But what I can do is

1 sympathise as it's annoying.

2 move this thread to site stuff as it's about the site.

3 get one of the 9 to 5 ers to come on and give you a proper update when they're all back after Christmas

HTH

Happy in-betweeny-Christmas Olivia.

Thanks Trills.

I have totally been channelling our cousins across the pond and saying Happy Holidays which is very unlike me but I LIKE THE CHANGE
[insert multidenominational emoticon here]

Happy midwinter thingy!

I want to tell people to just chill out a bit abut New Year, because the only logical time to think that the year was "new" has already been and gone.
