Just that, thank you.

Yes, thank you.

Yep. Subtle and respectful without being in anyone's face. Very naice.

Thank you💕 xxx

It makes it so much harder for those of us with disabilities to read.

This is exactly my problem with it

Presumably it makes it harder for some people with disabilities to read but easier for others? Some sites have a monochrome option to provide a higher contrast version, is that not a useful thing?

I totally recognise that the black may have made it worse for some people but given its offered as an option on some other websites it feels as though the option either way would be the most accessible thing? Example attached.

I like the gesture, thank you MNHQ.

For those struggling with it, please can I ask how / why?

It's not actually black, it's "midnight", the same as the colour as the fonts used throughout the site. The contrast is actually slightly higher than the white on blue. I would have thought that would make it easier? I have no visual disability, so have no first hand experience.

Came to say the same, thank you.

It's the higher contrast that makes it harder for me to read. The white just blurs. Black on white is ok but white on black is ureadable.

i very much approve of the gesture

I find it over the top and slightly ridiculous. There is no need.

Not appreciated here.

Thank you it's a lovely touch

A just why from me too, why does this site need to make any 'comment' at all? I don't get it

Neurodivergent here.

I’m just finding it weird because it’s different but I’ll absolutely adjust. I’ll probably end up preferring it tbh.

What I AM finding weird is the timing. I love the queen and have no issue with the sentiment but shouldn’t it have happened on Thursday/Friday or not at all?

Yikes

Thank you.

Thank you from Scotland MNHQ

Performative.

I appreciate the gesture, thank you

It’s a temporary thing, I assume it will revert to normal after HRH funeral

a minority find the contrast difficult, I assume.

Thank you

Thank you mumsnet, a decent thing to do.

(you’ll never please all of the people all the time… but I expect you knew that)

Thank you Mumsnet

Thank you

I wish you hadn't. Lots of people are not mourning.
