Difficulty in reading posts in that compulsory highlight colour

73 replies

UptheChimney · 06/08/2015 14:24

I'm a mole very shortsighted. I'm finding it very difficult to read posts now they're highlighted in that APPALLING dark green colour. There's not enough contrast to read quickly and comfortably.

I'm not visually impaired, but I'm having difficulties. Can't imagine how awful it would be for those with visual impairment.

The improvements are crap.

Totally agree with you, UptheChimney.

It is very, very hard to read & it would be lovely if your own posts & the OP's posts came in different colours.

BeccaMumsnet · 06/08/2015 15:05

Hi both - Tech are working on this as we speak. Please do keep an eye on this thread for updates and info.

UptheChimney · 06/08/2015 15:22

Why did you do this in the first place? Techs rarely offer improvements to end users IME.

Oooh, it's just all gone a lime green just now. I like it!

FruSirkaOla · 06/08/2015 16:04

Heavens above. There are more colours - now I'm pink and Up is lime!

QueenStromba · 06/08/2015 16:04

I hate the lime green - it hurts my eyes. Can I have the colours I selected back please? Also I'm very confused because my posts used to be dark green and the OPs posts used to be purple and now they're reversed.

I don't like change!!!

magimedi · 06/08/2015 16:05

The lime is very lurid!

ExitPursuedByABear · 06/08/2015 16:05

The green is pants. Mine keeps changing back and forth.

Making me dizzy

scribblescrabble · 06/08/2015 16:07

Is there any way of making the op's subsequent threads show up in the same colour on the app like it does on the main site? ... and pictures? any chance of pictures showing up on the app?

FruSirkaOla · 06/08/2015 16:07

I like lurid lime green magi, but you've never seen me in my 'Summer kit' Grin

ElementaryMyDearWatson · 06/08/2015 16:08

The lurid green is horrible. Can we at least go for a pale green?

WhetherOrNot · 06/08/2015 16:11

Why fix something that ain't broke? I liked my choice of colours - not this horrible horrible green. Let's hope it changes soon.

QueenStromba · 06/08/2015 16:11

I've switched computers and it the green looks a lot better now - has it been changed?

Fluffycloudland77 · 06/08/2015 16:18

I hate it too, it's too bright to read comfortably.

I can't choose my own colours now either. This is pants.

Phew, Fru!!!! Grin

moresnow · 06/08/2015 16:43

Lurid green like no. Reminiscent of Per Una.

Fluffycloudland77 · 06/08/2015 16:56

Or Asda corporate green, are we being sponsored by Asda?

MyPelvicFloorTrainsItself · 06/08/2015 16:57

OP is a dull grey to me.

FruSirkaOla · 06/08/2015 17:12

It's good, magi! Not quite as weird as it sounds. But I guess you're a tad relieved that we met in the Winter?!

UptheChimney · 06/08/2015 17:14

I just want the colours I selected. not ones that techies think I should have. The lime green is horrible and not very subtle so NSFW

What do we want?
Choice!

magimedi · 06/08/2015 17:21

Yes, Fru - speaking of which it's soon going to be time to think of another meet! Wine

FruSirkaOla · 06/08/2015 17:23

.... and then you'll see my 'Summer kit' (weather permitting) Grin

ScrambledSmegs · 06/08/2015 17:34

PLEASE can I have my old colours back, MNHQ? The new OP colour is actually quite uncomfortable. I suffer from migraines and I don't know if it's a coincidence, but just looking at the OP's highlighted posts is making my head throb Hmm.

QueenStromba · 06/08/2015 17:39

Weird, the green is fine on my laptop but hurts my eyes on my desktop.

Tapirbackrider · 06/08/2015 18:28

FGS please stop messing about with it!

Posters will generally have it set the way they want or need it to be, we don't need some random to decide this stuff for us Angry
