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?

I find the colours of posts vary between pink, white and green, whether I am on my phone or iPad.

Whatever I use, be it laptop, Kindle Fire tablet or Android phone, all OP's posts are in green and all mine are pink.

This has been raised several times SirChenjin never a really satisfactory response.

SirChenjin Mon 17-Feb-20 22:16:24

I still haven’t heard back from GNHQ despite chaser emails. Is it being ignored, I wonder?

On iPhone, iPad and Mac, the first, thread starter, post by the OP is green.

Any subsequent posts by the OP are white and I would like to see them in green as with the OP’s original post.

Everyone else’s posts are also white except my own which are pink.

OP’s subsequent posts are coloured on MN so come on GNHQ, please don’t tell us it can’t be done.

I thought it was the same for everyone. OPs posts have always been green and mine are pink. Makes it easier to see at a glance where you are in the thread. HQ posts are blue.

My post is pink using iPad other peoples are white and sometimes green

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 ?

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.

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

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

Really EllaKeat? I want one!

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

But they are for me Chewbacca?

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

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 22:17:11

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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???

SarahCGransnet (GNHQ) Wed 27-Nov-19 15:24:25

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

CanadianGran Tue 26-Nov-19 23:07:19

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.

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

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

Callistemon Tue 26-Nov-19 22:59:51

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.
