Help please! I seem to have lost the green shading of subsequent posts by the OP and of my own on a thread. I find this really useful and can't think what I've done to make it disappear sad

Green shading? confused

ninathenana Sun 11-Dec-16 07:36:58

Anya does tour device not give your posts a coloured back ground so they are easy to spot ?
My phone and Kindle show mine with a blue background. Maybe the green is on the desktop site.

ninathenana Sun 11-Dec-16 07:38:02

Sorry Swanny I've no idea how to help.

kittylester Sun 11-Dec-16 07:40:25

My phone does but my lap top doesn't, if that helps.

seacliff Sun 11-Dec-16 07:43:03

Same here Kitty

Could it be the difference between the mobile site and the desktop site. I'll post this and then check.

thatbags Sun 11-Dec-16 07:56:24

Yes, it is. The mobile site colours in one's own posts. The desktop site doesn't.

kittylester Sun 11-Dec-16 07:57:33

I've never had anything for the op's subsequent posts but I would quite like to.

thatbags Sun 11-Dec-16 08:05:07

try the mobile site, kitty. My posts are coloured on it wherever they appear in a thread.

Then again, perhaps it depends on one's 'device'.

thatbags Sun 11-Dec-16 08:06:46

as in the software of some 'devices' support colouring in and some, with inferior software don't grin grin

Easily amused, me. ?

Mine were, aren't any more on the iPad. I assumed operator error!

mumofmadboys Sun 11-Dec-16 08:14:27

On my hudl OP posts are always green and my posts are blue

seacliff Sun 11-Dec-16 08:16:38

Grey blue here, but sun is shiningsmile

ninathenana Sun 11-Dec-16 08:17:37

Feeling deprived now tchsmile athough mine are coloured the op's never have been

kittylester Sun 11-Dec-16 08:45:14

I mostly use my phone bags but it's an android. I quite happy but was just pondering - dangerous!

kittylester Sun 11-Dec-16 08:45:56

Meant to grin As well!!

My iPad doesn't shade my posts ?

Swanny Sun 11-Dec-16 11:25:54

Thanks everyone. I've always used my laptop (Windows 10) for posting on GN so don't understand why shadings have suddenly disappeared. Reassuring though that some of you do and some don't have shading, regardless of colour. Might try the mobile but I prefer to use both hands when typing, rather than finger and thumb grin

Have you checked that you are still logged in to your account?

ninathenana Sun 11-Dec-16 11:54:37

swanny I think you'd need to be a bit of a contortionist to use finger and thumb. tchgrin D uses both thumbs as I've seen most people do. I type with just my right but am pretty quick even so.

Swanny Sun 11-Dec-16 14:34:59

nina you are so right! I just had to check to see how I did it on the mobile and if I hit the right letter at all with my finger it's a miracle. I have large fingers and often have to resort to using a special rubber-tipped pen on my mobile grin

Interestingly my posts were shaded blue when I logged in mobile gransnet ... I came back to the laptop and logged out and in again but no change sad

Hello. We're afraid this is a mobile addition so it will only show up when you are using your phone (or if you have the mobile site activated rather than desktop). We're not sure how tricky this will be for tech to implement onto the desktop site but we'll look into it and see what we can do.
If you are on ipads or tablets you can scroll right down to the bottom of the page and click on 'Mobile site' which might make it easier for you to read the threads.
I have the pen too Swanny! It's quite useful when writing longer bits of text on the phone.

Swanny Sun 11-Dec-16 21:58:37

LaraGransnet thanks for the info but what I don't understand is why I did have OP, and subsequent posts from that person, as well as my own posts highlighted by a sort of emerald green background on my laptop until a couple of days ago. The background of your post is more of a lime green shade

If I go to the bottom of the page on my laptop I can click on 'Mobile site' and get a different layout on screen with blue background for my OP and subsequent posts and dusty pink for yours.

I may be publicly embarassed when/if there's a simple explanation but at the moment I can't think of anything I've done differently to cause the change tchhmm

Indinana Sun 11-Dec-16 22:26:18

MN has the OP's subsequent posts highlighted in one colour and one's own posts highlighted in another. So I don't understand why it might be tricky to have the same on GN confused
