Can you sort that Mumsnet lot out please.

They've deleted a thread we were working out perfectly well ourselves.

If it was also in a different font it would help.

Ana Fri 05-Apr-13 11:16:11

I suggested green, too. Anything's got to be better than that dull blue...

j08 Fri 05-Apr-13 11:11:13

I think a nice bright emerald green. (green for "go", see?)

The ideal would be a symbol to show a link is there. Perhaps a finger. Pointing. Or clicking.

Jane, appreciate this is infuriating and I'm not sure which threads you're referring to - but we hate deleting threads and we always think very carefully.

The main two reasons (not saying this was the case here) are that the OP regrets revealing something/realises they have exposed something that could identify them, or that we have had so many complaints that it makes more sense to delete the entire thread.

A few times we have had threads which have been started with malign intent.

But it's really not something we do lightly.

On the blue links issue - tech are looking at this. A bit overwhelmed with local launch but it's still very much on the list.

Moroccan Orange is nice

Thats not bad jingle three testers for £1. wink

Think red would be better, I can never see the blue links either.
I dont like the off centre mauve on the message box, just not pleasingto the eye is it.

geraldine can't you use the bright blue which appears in emails when you put in a hyperlink?
And while you're there, I noticed two threads have been deleted this week, one at the OPs request to protect privacy, and the other for no reason given.
It's kind of annoying when you have been following something and then the whole thread vanishes without explanation.

Ana Thu 04-Apr-13 13:11:28

Geraldine, it's not just nellie! A lot of us have trouble sometimes distinguishing the 'link' word in a sentence as the blue is so similar to the black. Almost any colour would be better - green for example!

GeraldineGransnet (GNHQ) Thu 04-Apr-13 13:05:27

Nellie we would like to be able to do something about this. Are there any sites you know of where links work for you? - it is a question of making the links a different colour, probably, but one that doesn't make the page swim in front of your eyes (which my hunch is say red, might do - especially on a content page, as opposed to a forum page).

If the GNHQ are playing with their paintboxes could they sort out the hard to distinguish Blue from Black font colour where there are links in a thread? Please!

NfkDumpling Wed 03-Apr-13 19:19:57

It's not fussy, it's unfinished.

j08 Wed 03-Apr-13 18:56:48

I had never noticed that before! #fussypants. shock wink

Ana Wed 03-Apr-13 18:49:14

Well, I like it. But I do wish the lilac went to the end of the Message banner...

j08 Wed 03-Apr-13 18:45:45

I think they are trying to encourage us to preview before posting. Can't imagine why.

j08 Wed 03-Apr-13 18:43:59

Galen no! Really?!

NfkDumpling Wed 03-Apr-13 18:40:36

It's too lopsided.

Galen Wed 03-Apr-13 18:22:55

And are GNHQ trying to tell us something. An ad for a home that specialises in senile dementia greeted me at the top of the page!

I AM NOT SENILE!

We'll not this week anyway!

I thinkconfused

j08 Wed 03-Apr-13 18:00:27

I'm really bored with this pink and green though. Site needs redecorating.

j08 Wed 03-Apr-13 17:58:02

I think it's ok. It's all there. What's the fuss about? hmm

gracesmum Wed 03-Apr-13 17:57:03

Don't worry - it's these young things who have nothing better to do with their time.

glammanana Wed 03-Apr-13 17:50:11

I've had a few changes this past week or so first the format of my yahoo mail changed and put me all at sixes and sevens and now this,I keep going to the wrong place to click on "post message" is it just me ?

Galen Wed 03-Apr-13 15:50:42

Puce!
