Highlight original author

No, to put it simply ?

No and we’ve asked for it many many many times.

GNHQ??

No we can’t and no they won’t change it we have asked MANY MANY times

Great minds Bluebelle !!

there's not enough traffic to make it worth their while.
although i doubt it would take much tweaking, for a skilled operator.

So many threads trundle on regardless answering the OP after the poster of said OP has returned and said "Thanks, it's OK now" or has filled in missing bits of information which people keep asking for. If their posts were highlighted in green this would make things so much clearer.

As has been said, we have asked for this many times, to no avail.

Having said that, however, those that blunder in without reading the rest of the thread would probably not even notice a green post.

Ok thanks all for letting me know x

On my tablet the OPs first and subsequent posts are highlighted in green and my posts in pink/purple. It is helpful.

The original poster's follow-on posts are highlighted in green on my phone and my own (rare) posts are highlighted in pink.
How strange - I presumed this was the same for everyone.

Grannycool52 or sodapop please show us a screen shot of this. GNHQ have confirmed frequently that it can't be done.

On my mobile too.
It seems that there are functions that you get on the mobile site that you don't on the other one.
For example, the ability to hide threads, which was discussed recently.

Thank you Lucca, I don't know how to do them either (or links for that matter)
I don't really understand how a screenshot would help, Jacky

Green & pink on my kindle too.

Green and pink on my mobile and on my tablet.

Well I certainly can’t on either my iPad or my iPhone my understanding from HA was that it couldn’t be done

As you can see by my screenshot they all stay white on iPad and iPhone for me * Mattsmum* being the original poster

That isn't the mobile site BlueBelle
If you go to the bottom on the home page, there should be a button somewhere that says 'mobile site'. Click on that.
Likewise, there's a button at the bottom of the mobile site that says 'desktop site'.
I much prefer the mobile site. Much more streamlined and far fewer ads

So (I hope) the final answer seems to be, you need to be on the mobile site.

Ok so now I’m on the mobile site. OP posts not highlighted after the first one!

?
Would it be affected by whether you are an android or iPad/iPhone user?
(Apols, not at all tech minded☹️)

Green and pink on my Samsung mobile.
