How do I customise my account

[LauraMontreville]

I've selected customise but it's not giving me the option to highlight the OP's posts and my own in different colours. I also want to have the hide button in active conversations.

I've just checked, and on mine, it is the little arrow at the top of page next to the big word 'TALK', then 'customise' from the drop down, and then 'Highlight posts by thread order' is the 4th down in the list.

The 'hide' button is the 7th one down.

I'm on a laptop though - I understand these things look different on different devices?

Hi there OP,

Thanks so much for getting in touch. We know it's annoying but all customisable features are available on newer accounts, so that's likely something to do with it.

Yours and the OP's posts should still show in a different colour though, do let us know if they don't.

Thanks Back - I think the problem must be because this is a "new" account.

@AnyaMumsnet - do these features become available to "new" accounts after a certain time? I'm a returning Mumsnetter but don't think I can cope without the hide button!

Hi OP

What device and browser are you using?

Samsung tablet. Browser Google. And I want to change my password too as I'm logged out of my phone (android) but I really want to hide threads!
