A few updates to Mumsnet 🎨

[LizzyMumsnet]

You might notice things are looking a bit different today. We’ve given Mumsnet a colour refresh, based on feedback from you in our surveys (thank you!).

We’ve also moved a couple of things around to reduce clutter and make things easier to find:

• Watch now sits under the OP post
• Report has moved into the meatball menu (the three dots on posts)

As ever, we’d love to hear what you think, so please share your feedback below.

Gosh, I hadn't even thought about that.

In contrast to the wishy washy colours of the OP and my posts, the labels are quite different - very dark and for me, too big. Colour coding is really all that's needed, surely?

I just had to turn my monitor's brightness way down, because the colors are giving me a headache and I don't suffer from migraines. But the blue is still way too bright and I struggle to see the screen.

I suppose this is good, because I spend way too much time on Mumsnet as it is

I've moved to dark/night mode, for the first time on MN. Now there are no colours to differentiate anything. Was it always like this?

Did you not consider the effect of one colour next to another? Seeing my posts as 'grey' when not quoting in them, but as a blue colour when a true grey quote is introduced into the 'grey' post, messes with my colour sense & the flip-flopping of that feels unpleasant.

Love the term 'meatball menu'. Never knew it was called that!
I also had to reduce the brightness.

I remember doing a survey.
I think it asked if we used the colour coding options and if we liked the colours available.
It didn't give any indication of things changing, or examples of new colours etc

I have a headache already.
Please change it back.
It really is horrible on the eyes.

No, sorry I really don't like it at all.
Why change things - I don't think anyone was complaining!
I didn't see a survey so when and where was that?

OK at first but after using it for a few minutes, the bright blue colour is giving me a headache. I've got brightness turned as low as it will go. The pink is OK.

Where has threads I'm Watching gone ?

It's in case you forget that a post was your own post, duh. Because we are all fools and don't know our own post when we see it

Same. It is impossible to use the site after a few minutes. Why is it all so bright @LizzyMumsnet ?

I'm also finding the blue too bright, it's giving me a headache.

Ouch. Going to have to stop now. Even the pink seems too bright.
I am subject to migraines BTW which may have something to do with it.

Gah the blue! WAY TOO MUCH

I don’t like it. I don’t need to be informed of each post from an OP, I can see that for myself with their different coloured posts. Same with mine. It’s very annoying.

Colours are horrible too. If it ain't broke don’t fix it!

I've started a poll on AIBU

And the pink of "my posts"is eye watering.
Softer hues please

But it says

My Posts

Not "My Post"!!

aaaaaah too bright and colours too pale to distinguish.

None of the colours chosen make any difference 😫

It's horrible and hurts my eyes

The only colour my eyes are somewhat tolerating is gray, but to be honest I’ve had to switch to dark mode as too uncomfortable to read.

"I want mine restored to how I chose it- the OP and my posts in colour."
So do I, the OP’s posts in green and mine in purple. No need to tell me they’re my own posts. And why is the blue so awfully, awfully bright, now? Change for the sake of it.

I don’t like the pink colour for my own posts.

I’m happy that the ‘report’ button has moved; in the past I’ve accidentally clicked on it a few times while scrolling.

Way way way too bright even turned down then it’s either too dark or too bright still. wtf!

Oh dear, someone was bored today and decided to fiddle around with the knobs and buttons. The devil makes work for idle hands indeed 😵‍💫

Agree with PPS.

It is too bright and uncomfortable to look at.

The available colours to highlight OP and own posts are poor and insipid.

I don't need a big banner saying that something is the OP's or my post because the colours (horrible as they are) already highlight it.

But I'm pleased the report button has moved as it was easy to hit whilst scrolling. So that change is good.
