Hopefully the coding is already basically in place if the OP posts are already coloured on ipads and iphones, so hopefull we PC users can look forward to this soon
I use a Mac laptop and OP's appear in green, mine in pinky mauve colour and GN in blue. I agree that OP's showing in green throughout would make threads easier to follow. Also the 30 day rule appeals. Could always have a referendum on that and spend the next year or so disputing the outcome
I do like the idea of highlighting further posts by the OP .
As for the removal of threads after a period of time I like being able to refer back to old threads so please don't meddle with GN 'search', if anything it could perhaps even be improved.
I will say the fairly new idea of highlighting our own posts in pink has proven a hit with me!
sodapop I believe that the green appears if you are viewing on a phone or iPad. Not on a PC though. it would be nice if they came up green on all formats.
Hello! Yes, we're looking into it. Totally agree, the OP highlight makes complete sense and hopefully won't be too much of a job. We'll let you know once we know what's happening with it.
Yes, same here. Just yesterday I commented on a thread about someone who was contemplating divorce - I wrote some supportive things about how easy it is to get one, then realised later that she'd actually commented on a previous page that she'd decided against it. A coloured post would have made it much easier to realise that the conversation had changed direction !
When I occasionally look at Gransnet on my phone. OP’s subsequent posts are highlighted but I mostly use iPad, and they’re not. Surely if they can do it for one type of device, they can do for the others?
Good idea, I have commented before without reading a lengthy thread to find there has been an additional comment by the OP that makes my comment invalid. Once a thread reaches 50 or so maybe it should be started again, some threads being in the hundreds lose the subject of the original post and nobody will read through 100s of posts.
I've been lurking on Mumsnet and noticed that when an OP writes further posts in the course of the conversation, her posts come up in green.
I think this would be a great addition to the threads on GN - often when reading lengthy threads , you can miss the fact that the OP has added more information. Having their posts in green would make it so much more easy to get the drift of the conversation.
