Same here, very unsettling. Unticking the ticker hasn't worked for me though :(

midnightvelvetPart2 · 05/08/2015 08:22

Ah there's a sticky Noah, in Active :)

NoahVale · 05/08/2015 08:24

Oh I cant see it.

Yes and it's very annoying as now my email inbox is full of alerts that someone else has posted on the threads I've 'watched'.

NoahVale · 05/08/2015 08:25

oh God Pinkfrocks, that is not good

Yes me too. Since yesterday.

But... If you change on customise you lose the option to mark your and OPs posts in different colours, if you tick 'don't watch' on the thread then I think you keep the custom colours. I've had an insomniac night and been looking at this!

midnightvelvetPart2 · 05/08/2015 08:30

Just found that out Crosby & trying to change it back! :)

midnightvelvetPart2 · 05/08/2015 08:31

I can't get my colours back on :(

Crosbybeach · 05/08/2015 08:32

I couldn't change it back. It's a pain!

midnightvelvetPart2 · 05/08/2015 08:33

And on my 'I'm On' page there are loads of posts showing for each thread instead of the 5 or so there was before!!

WhirlpoolGalaxyM51 · 05/08/2015 08:37

I've unticked it and now my posts aren't a different colour any more!

arrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

FanOfHermione · 05/08/2015 08:38

Me too.
And now that I've played with removing the 'put in watch' thingy, the colours ahve come back but different.

I do know though that I have the email notifications unchecked and that seems to be OK.

WhirlpoolGalaxyM51 · 05/08/2015 08:39

where do I change the colours back? I can't find the options any more........

Dear god this is AWFUL

(mild over-reaction)

FanOfHermione · 05/08/2015 08:41

Youre right whirlpool I canbt get them back either :(

midnightvelvetPart2 · 05/08/2015 08:42

I'm on the main thread in Site Stuff, tis stickied & it appears that there is no way of getting your colours back at the moment. Lots of posters unhappy. MNHQ said that they have a clear out of customise options & it looks as though the colours have gone :(

Your warning has come too late for me, Mixed Berries.

I don't know who I am any more!!!!!!!!!!

I wasn't expecting to be sent into a severe existential crisis by MN this morning Sad

I just put my options to watch back on and no colours back.

And I think it has dropped me down to 20 posts a page without me telling it too.

This is the worst thing to happen to me since I dropped my ice-cream on the pavement on holiday in Guernsey when I was 6

BYOSnowman · 05/08/2015 08:47

Why the hell do mn think anyone wants to automatically watch every thread they click into?

midnightvelvetPart2 · 05/08/2015 08:53

Just reported my post where I say you can turn it off, as people will turn it off without realising they are losing colours. I'm misleading people.

WhirlpoolGalaxyM51 · 05/08/2015 09:02

This is really shit.

Now my posts are the same colour as everybody elses, I keep reading them by accident, and they are really fucking boring Sad

Flaperon · 05/08/2015 10:22

Ugh. This should be opt-in, not opt-out. Every time I post on a thread I have to go and remove it from my watch list.
