Highlighting OP's posts through the thread

39 replies

Thumbwitch · 28/09/2013 13:34

Dear MNHQ - I know we already have the option to do this through customising our preferences, but since a lot of people don't know that, would it be do-able to have it so that the OP's posts are automatically highlighted throughout the threads they start?

That way everyone would be able to see updates, "dripfeeds"/additional info, responses from the OP etc. much more easily and it might save a lot of the inappropriate responses from people who don't RTFT.

Whaddya think?

Ooh yes, and I hadn't realised you could highlight them in your preferences so have been reduced to ctrl+f for some threads!

It's a wonderful thing, gwennie - I was inappropriately excited when I managed to highlight both my own and the OP's posts in different colours! Grin

I agree that it would be a great idea on the app too

It's an excellent suggestion.
It will be especially useful in AIBU, for all of those who haven't realised that they can customise their own posts and the OP's (mine are green, the op's are pink).

Greenhill, lots of us realise you CAN do it, but it doesn't work on the app Sad

Ha ha mine are green and ops are pink too. The best combo. Ever.

Good idea. I tried the app again the other day and it didn't do this and also my antenatal thread didn't appear in TIO so I deleted the app in disgust Grin.

Agreed - would be a very useful default.

Btw, never understood why the highlighting stops if the OP changes username during the thread, isn't it based on the user's ID rather than just a comparison of the name text?

How irritating that must be tallulah and horatio I rarely hear positive comments about the app, I use the desktop on safari, the only problem is inability to cut and paste on the iPad.

MrsHoratioNelson · 29/09/2013 19:06

How come you can't c & p on the iPad? I use mobile on my iPod touch and I can c & p fine.

I think it may be a technical error on my part Blush
