OP Posts Highlighted.

Couldn’t agree more. All the OP’s posts on Mumsnet are highlighted, so it must be easy to set up.

They are highlighted depending on the device you use. So calendergirl is showing green for me. It doesnt work for all devices which isnt helpful.

Totally agree, in many forums all future posts made by the OP are highlighted so it’s easy to see when they are responded.

Also, having to bookmark a message in order to reopen a thread at the last message I read is very clunky. On other forums, the threads automatically open at the last message read on the thread. If I forget to bookmark, it’s frustrating to have to scroll through to find where I was up to, especially if there have been lots of messages added in a short time.

Another thing, on another forum, when the active list comes up, it shows which posts I have contributed to by putting a tiny picture of me next to the title. That really helps me follow threads I am particularly interested in - or is it just me who forgets?

Sarc alert.

If only posters would follow rules that I think are sensible. If only posters would read all of the thread. If only what I want is what happened because I can't deal with diversity like this.

The only one coloured is the original post the rest are white
We have asked for this multiple times with no success
It’s very very frustrating

On my phone the OP's posts are highlighted in green, and any posts I make are highlighted in purple.

I meant the OP subsequent posts, to be clear.

The original OP’s are in green.

All the OPs posts are green on my phone. Including comments. So this feature is working and available.

Mumsnet and Gransnet are the same company so it should be simple for this to be introduced.
Another feature on Mumsnet is being able to notify a poster that they have been mentioned in a post. You just put @ in front of the name so for example @Esspee would result in an email to me from GNHQ with a link to the thread.

No all of your posts are highlighted green on my device. Its device dependent. That presumbably doesnt mean GN couldnt do something about it.

I m on iPhone and iPad and they are NOT highlighted

I am on a samsung mobile and they are all highlighted. No idea why or which devives it works for except my own.

I used to have this feature on my phone. Then one day I switched to desk top version. When I switched back to mobile the feature was gone

On my phone too

Not on my phone.

Some of these things are possible to change to the way you want them.
At the top of the first page, above the first post, click on Customise. This gives several options, including "bookmark" (which means the thread will open up to where you bookmarked it).

There's also "PO posts highlighted" and "Watch this thread" which I haven't yet sussed. Maybe someone else can and then share?

There is nothing about posts being coloured in my customise

Nor mine Bluebelle

This is something we keep asking for but seems to be beyond GNHQ

Every one of the OP posts are in green on my ipad and any contributions I make are in pink. Simples!

Kim19 I’m also on an iPad. When I go into “Customise” it doesn’t say anything about highlighting all the OP’s posts. How did you do it?

On my iPad the initial post is in green and my responses are in pink. I do try to read all of the thread before making a comment but sometimes they are six pages long by the time I read them.

Same here, must be a problem with Apple devices?

My problem exactly, I’m sure it’s a simple fix for GN to do.

Sorry GDH, can't help. This is how my iPad presented GN settings from day 1. I did nothing with regard to settings.
