Update to webchat guest colours

[JessicaMumsnet]

Hi,
This is a heads up that we're soon to introduce a change to the colours used to highlight posts on desktop and mobile.

If you've been around long enough to have the old style customised colours this won't affect you.

For newer users - we needed to add some new web chat guest colours and retire the awful mustard yellow we used in the past on desktop webchats. As a result of that we then needed to update our other colours too.

Thanks all

Any news on this please ?

I've reported my comment to bring MNHQ's attention to this thread.

My eyes are hurting. Please get a wiggle on!

Good morning!

Thanks very much for all your feedback. Tech are working on changing to the stronger colours at the moment and we will post again as soon as the change is released.

Thanks all!

Thanks Amy

Thank you Amy, but are we talking days, weeks or months here ? It would be good to have some sort of guide to timescales

Thank goodness I found this thread and can be safe in the knowledge the pale colours are going.

hurry up then

Mumsnet the pale colours are sooooo irritating! I really don't understand why this is taking so long to make the colours stronger. Are you hoping we'll get used to it? Because I'm using mumsnet less now because of it.

The pink OP is the worst of them all! Blue mumsnet is better but the pink against white is so hard to see I'm missing posts because of it.

How long does it take to change some colours?!

How long does it take to change some colours?!

On most sites about 30 secs.

To be fair it becomes a wee bit harder if the site is held together with old string and chewing gum.

They changed them to the pale colours quick enough.

Are you hoping we forget and stop asking?

They changed them to the pale colours quick enough.

How do you know they didn't start working on the colour changes in 2002

Any updates on this problem MNHQ ?

Mine have gone a lovely dark colour on my ipad, green for OP and purple for me but still light for MNHQ. All still light on iphone..

It feels like that, doesn't it?

Whoa! Now the desktop OP colour is vile sicky pink? I thought we were going stronger (and not puke pink?)

This seems to be new in the last 10 minutes.
I can't read it AT ALL. I'm a migraine sufferer and it gives me an instant headache just looking at it.

I'm all for something that stands out more, but fluorescent? Really?

I've just got that too, Rat. The OP was Forest Green earlier this morning, but now it's a sort of peachy colour for me (I guess the same as your 'sicky pink'!)

The photo above does not do justice to high bright it is. It's a really neon bright bright green. I can't read anything on it, it does my eyes in.

That's a shame musicposy I've just come here to say how much better it is this morning. My problem was staining to spot the colour changes.

My pink on the iPad is more dusky

I think it must make a difference what you're viewing it on. I'm on safari on iPad and someone definitely needs to look at how it looks on that!

Mine has suddenly changed to a horrible pale pink crepe bandage colour for the OP (safari on iPad, desktop site). It's vile. To make it worse the customise button seems to have disappeared. Please can it go back to green.

Oh, mine has changed back to dark! It's great, I hope it stays this way.

I'm using Internet on a Samsung mobile using the mobile site.
