I have customised my setting so that the OP is always coloured green, my own posts are pink and Mumsnet posts are blue.

Today I've noticed that the odd post here and there is grey. Is there a reason for this?

I'm getting it too. Google Chrome on desktop.

ChasedByBees · 02/03/2015 16:20

Ooh i'm having this too, AlistairSim is not grey, but OddFodd is. Mysterious!

TheSilveryPussycat · 02/03/2015 16:24

Same as Chased

ClashCityRocker · 02/03/2015 16:29

Only Oddfod is grey for me - desperate to find s link!

ouryve · 02/03/2015 16:33

So it's not just me, then. It's not even consistent with particular posters.

Weird.

And OddFod is grey for me!

Rainicorn · 02/03/2015 16:39

Same here. Oddfodd is grey, on safari on iPad

CantBeBotheredThinking · 02/03/2015 16:40

Oddfodd also grey for me too on google chrome

LoxleyBarrett · 02/03/2015 16:48

Looks suspiciously at Oddfod...

Roussette · 02/03/2015 16:49

Oh dear! Ignore my other thread on this! Yes, I have it too! OddFodd is grey for me but on another thread I was looking at, someone was grey but just for one of their posts. I'm not reading anymore, I'm just looking for grey!

Verrrrry glad it's not just me!

It's MNs subversive way of advertising that 50 Shades of Shite film.

magimedi · 02/03/2015 16:54

Sidge - I don't often laugh out loud when reading MN - but I did at your post.

SoMauve · 02/03/2015 16:56

OdFodd grey for me too. There was a poster on another thread also grey before I logged in too.

LikeABadSethRogenMovie · 02/03/2015 16:57

How do you even customise your settings like that in the first place?!

LikeABadSethRogenMovie · 02/03/2015 16:59

Scrap that question. I've worked it out!

ThingummyJigg · 02/03/2015 17:08

I think it's when MNHQ think you're special/a troll/getting on a bit and should be on gransnet/have stalked you on facebook and suspect you are actually John Major/one of the chosen few to be invited to the as-yet-unannounced mumsnet Easter holiday to the Maldives.

MNHQ please delete as applicable.

Unexpected · 02/03/2015 17:15

Glad it's not just me. Also getting random posts from different users in grey. Can't work out any pattern to it.

OddBoots · 02/03/2015 17:19

I know it isn't a dress but I'm getting the same posts highlighted but I see them as a pale pink not a grey. Confused

BuzzardBird · 02/03/2015 17:25

There is no pattern...

AnnieLobeseder · 02/03/2015 17:26

Yup, OddFodd grey for me too. I was wondering if I was going mad, so I'm glad it's not just me!

Sparklingbrook · 02/03/2015 17:32

Oddfod is pink for me. Grin I am pink too.

I am getting random pink posts, so I think they are mine but they aren't.

Sparklingbrook · 02/03/2015 17:33

A much paler pink though-actually it could be grey.

TalkinPeace · 02/03/2015 17:37

Its whack a mole ... guess who will turn grey next

CtrlAltDelicious · 02/03/2015 17:39

I think the grey means the poster is an HQ member posting as a normal poster to liven things up a bit... Grin

AnnoyedByAlfieBear · 02/03/2015 17:44

Oddfod for me too.

I'm on iPad if it makes a difference.
