OPs highlighted on green throughout the post - why do some people have this and not others?

GNHQ - this is very definitely a ‘thing’ on my iPhone, with my posts showing in pink and all of the OPs posts showing as green. Other posters don’t have this feature and say that they’ve been told that it doesn’t exist and can’t be provided. Well, I can assure you it does and it can! Can you look into this please?

SirChenjin any chance you could post a screenshot of this thread so we can see what it looks like for you?

Bathsheba Tue 26-Nov-19 21:51:38

Meant to add, I'm on an iPhone too, but I don't see all the OP's subsequent posts in green, only their first, opening post hmm

OP always green on mine, my posts pink, does it matter?

SirChenjin Tue 26-Nov-19 21:58:54

Compared to war, famine and Brexit? No, of course not.

It would just be a handy feature on GN.

SirChenjin Tue 26-Nov-19 22:00:26

Bathsheba here’s a screenshot showing mine posts as the OP’s

SirChenjin Tue 26-Nov-19 22:02:29

And here’s mine as a contributor to another thread

Previous thread about the same issue

Your OP is green but not your subsequent posts SjrChenjin

Mine are pink.

I'm going to post this then change to the mobile site on the same device to see if it changes.

Callistemon Tue 26-Nov-19 23:01:06

No, only your OP on both desktop and mobile sites.

Only the first post is green for me, and my own posts are pink. It would be nice if OP was green for each post.

On another forum I frequent, I can search by poster to see all their posts. That would be a handy feature.

Hi everyone, we've asked our tech team to look into this, and we will give you an update as soon as we have more info smile

SirChenjin Wed 27-Nov-19 15:29:35

Thanks Sarah

While they’re at it, could they look at whether we could get the option to hide entire thread topics as they have on MN please???

EthelJ Fri 29-Nov-19 13:28:40

Yes I get it. All OP posts are green. Mine are purple/pink

50ShadesofGreyMatter Sat 04-Jan-20 20:06:50

On my android phone only the OP's original post is green, the rest of the OP's posts are white. Please change it so that all of OP's posts are green.

SirChenjin Sat 04-Jan-20 20:22:08

This serves as a timely reminder to chase up GNHQ for a response smile

EllaKeat Sat 04-Jan-20 22:04:03

All of your posts are green Gin. All of my posts come up pink.
Having said that, I am sure that at some time in the past some Ops posts were green on the original post, then not highlighted at all.
I THINK I decided it was because I was not logged in at the time, was reading as a 'visitor'.
But I might be making that up.

Using a tablet, initial post (call it OP or thread start?) is green.

Responses are all white, except for mine, which are pink.

I really wish that posts/responses/replies posted by the person who started the thread were shown/highlighted in some way (perhaps green, like the opening post) so that we can easily see that the person who started the thread has actually come back to reply or comment!

I expect that's about as clear as mud!

SirChenjin Sat 04-Jan-20 22:17:11

That’s exactly it though - I can see the original post and all the subsequent posts they post in pink. Mine are all in green.

Other people don’t seem to have that function though, for some reason.

Chewbacca Sat 04-Jan-20 22:17:56

They manage to have all the OPs posts highlighted, throughout the thread, on Mumsnet. So why not here?

SirChenjin Sat 04-Jan-20 22:18:57

Sorry , I’m getting my greens and pinks mixed up because I started this thread!

OP and their subsequent posts - all green

Mine - all pink

Everyone else’s - white

EllaKeat Sat 04-Jan-20 22:19:25

But they are for me Chewbacca?

Chewbacca Sat 04-Jan-20 22:26:13

Really EllaKeat? I want one!

BlueBelle Sat 04-Jan-20 22:40:29

On iPad and iPhone and both in mobile and desktop mode I only get the top post in green all subsequent posts are white Mine are all pink I thought we were getting an answer in November

SirChenjin Sat 04-Jan-20 22:53:52

I get green and pink throughout on my iPhone in mobile mode. There’s no consistency, which is weird.

I’ve messaged GNHQ so hopefully they’ll update us soon.

EllaKeat Sun 05-Jan-20 06:26:43

Both my phone and tablet are android and both have all OPs posts in green and all my posts in pink.
I'm special me ?
