Settles down in the comfy chair by the fire.

Eeek something funny has happened to me too -- 'Original Poster' appeared over Boily's posts, and 'My posts' appeared over mine. That's new. And therefore disconcerting😒

I can't change to purple!

I've gone green and grey - the pink is apparently magenta 😳

But the green is wrong.

Too bright. In danger of reactivating yesterday's migraine.

Off to MN Stuff to complain. Hopefully to join the outrage already started.

There's several threads about the new colours in Site Stuff. I thought about posting about the resemblance to the trans flag but I'd read like a monomaniac. My posts used to be a lovely purple, so suffragette, now they're this...this...magenta! I could change it but purple no longer seems to be an option 😔

And why have My Posts? I can see my posts because they're in a different colour to everyone else.

The new colours are terrible. They’re giving me a headache.

That is not magenta, it's watery salmon pink, like cheap fish paste.

What fresh hell have a just awoken to.

God my eyes my eyes.

Fuck you MNHQ

I can't actually look at the screen.

It's way way WAY to happy clappy bright

I appreciate MNHQ wanting to give us a groovy colour scheme, but I don't know if I can get used to this, or it will turn out to be the kind of thing that drove Michael Caine mad in The Ipcress File.

Why does it say My Posts above a single post? Does it do something 😟

Eta No it doesn't, I tried clicking it. It's either bad grammar or a premium feature.

Because they're

mine, all mine!

Mwah ha ha.

Nope MN is quite clear, possibly excessively so. It's My Posts. All one of it.

My motto- " If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

MN motto- "change it at all costs, regardless"

Green is never wrong.

Unlike baby blue and baby pink. Fuck that shit.

And on the theme of fucking that shit, every turn of the way today has gone to rat shit. Fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking rat shit. In ways that would be too identifying to describe but I am incredibly pissed off. Gimme a pint of gin, please, gPeanut, and hold off on the tonic, it’s not going to help the situation.

And the migraine has started.

I'm bowing out.

Oh, and hard agree with this.

Magenta my arse.

Could live with proper magenta.

Oh AlexandraLeaving, I do hope you're OK.
Have a Gerbilgin, a Rosy hug and a yoga session from a passing quokka. ❤️

Oh dear, Rosie and Bessie will be busy - Fuzzy and Boily brewing migraines, and AlexandraL ...well, 'upset' is an understatement😞
They've roped in Quinn the Quokka help.

Take care of yourselves, whether in darkened rooms with painkillers or in the Bluestocking with vast quantities of neat gin...

Glad I had my migraine yesterday.

If you're better today, could you send Quinn over to Boily's please Fuzz?
But not before she's given you a consoling hug for how horrible yesterday was.

Hopefully the colour changes are some sort of ill-advised party attire for the 25year anniversary celebrations.

She was a joy and a delight yesterday and clearly helped.
She's on her way to Boily's now, with every anti- migraine trick in her book.
