Where can i find the place to set up different colours for my posts and OP's posts? I have done it before, but can't find it in My Mumsnet/settings.

Hi @chestnutSquash - which version of the site are you using? App, mobile or desktop?

@chestnutSquash

I have only started fiddling with this because I got a new laptop and the display makes my eyes hurt. I still haven't figured that out. I prefer my old one, but it doesn't work very well. I have adjusted the colours on MN, but i am coming round to the idea that it might be better to just look at MN on my phone. I may just have to go and do some housework instead.

Let's have no more of that talk, OP. Housework, indeed...

Let's try to get this sorted for you. On the desktop site, if you scroll to the top of any thread, above the title and the topic name, you'll see the word 'Talk' in big blue letters. Next to that is a down arrow in a circle. If you click on that, then click on Customise, you'll be taken to the Mumsnet Talk Styles page.

Scroll down to Talk options and you should see the options for highlighting your own posts or the OP posts in different colours. Once you've made your choices, don't forget to hit the purple Save button.

Hope that helps but please let us know if the above doesn't work.

@tappingintherain - sorry to hear you're having problems finding these links. Are you also using the desktop site? If so, the Getting Started link is found at the foot of any thread - it sounds like you're scrolling too far down to the very bottom of the screen.

If you scroll up a wee bit you'll see a solid blue bar (well, it's blue on my page but you may have different colour settings) which says: Add your message here...

To the right of that is a link to the Talk guidelines and another link to Getting Started.

Let us know if that helps

Hi @tappingintherain just dropping in to explain that this feature was removed in 2016, so posters who joined after that time won't have that option. I hope this clears up the mystery! Shame that Dawn won't get that gin after all!
