Username colour change on the app / app not working

17 replies

PinkestMoon · 20/04/2022 06:42

Have I gone mad or have the names on threads changed colours? Were they always red? I'm finding the red quite stressful, especially on the news/war threads. Please can we go back to purple/whatever it was before? @mnhq

also, the app is down and won’t show watched threads / won’t let me post new threads. Hope it’s not just me!

I think it’s to do with the new platform. There’s a longer thread here in site stuff.

PinkestMoon · 20/04/2022 06:50

Ah thanks, the watched threads have reappeared now I've logged out and back in but I hate the colour change on usernames. The red causes so much stress when the topic is scary!

Oh lord, threads also don't show as read anymore so they all look updated @mnhq

Same issue, everyone is red except the op. Hopefully they'll sort it in due course.

SpaghettiNotCourgetti · 20/04/2022 06:59

Is the non-differentiation between me and other posters (all non-OP) a glitch, or is it just how things will look now? I don't mind a colour change but I do like to see my own posts clearly differentiated.

You can change the colours of op's and your own posts in customise.

PinkestMoon · 20/04/2022 07:33

@Crimblecrumblerules do you know how to do that in the app?

MaggieFS · 20/04/2022 07:39

I've had a quick skim through the other threads and can't see anything from @mnhq specifically relating the colour of posters names in the app.

Everyone being red except the OP feels like a glitch? I hope so!

Clymene · 20/04/2022 07:56

I think it is a glitch. I don't think you can change colours in the app.

I agree with you - it's horrible!

StrawberrySanta · 20/04/2022 07:59

This confused me today , red used to be for my own comments now it seems to be for everyone's?

JustineMumsnet · 20/04/2022 08:01

Hi all - there are indeed a few glitches with the App (following re-platforming last night). We're on it. Apologies for the inconvenience.

chilling19 · 20/04/2022 08:06

Yes all replies are in red on the app - looking forward to this being sorted

Thank you!

It's gone more successfully than the last time!

Ps was going to add an emoji there but they've gone super weird AngryBearBiscuitBlushBrewCakeConfusedDaffodilEnvyGrin

It's come back on mine! Everything is the right colour, OP, me and everyone else are differentiated again.

But the emojis are very pixelated and hard to see.
BrewCake for the poor peeps working hard to fix it!

Yay! Colours are back to normal.

Threads still showing as unread though so can't figure out when there are new posts @mnhq

Thank you for fixing the username colours! Much better Smile
