The Highlighting of the OP's Posts

[Nanny0gg]

MN - is there any reason this couldn't be automatic instead of being left up to users?

The large number of long threads where, understandably, no-one has the time to read every post would be much improved if people could easily read the OP's posts at least.

As so many people don't know you can do this (or how) could you not do it for them?

Please??

I think this sounds like a great idea too. I might be wrong, but I think that new MN users don't even have the option of any colours on their customise anyway?

I so agree. It happens so often that someone posts a response to the OP that completely ignores the fact that the situation has moved on since the thread started so that their response has become at best irrelevant and at worst quite offensive. It would save so much grief on all sides if reading the OP's posts was made much easier. I know people can arrange to highlight for themselves, but it's very clear that an awful lot of people either aren't aware of that or don't bother.

Excellent idea!

Hi there everyone,

Sorry it's taken a while to get back to you all.

We agree that it would be a really useful function — in fact, we’re working on it right now! We don’t have a release date yet, sorry. But will definitely keep you posted.

Good call.

Thank you Mumsnet.

Be the single best improvement you can do.

Great!
