Own Posts Highlighted

[EvianBaby]

What's the chances that when we reply to a thread, our own posts could be highlighted in a coloured box - like OP's answers are - but just to us.

If you take part in a really long thread it's hard sometimes to keep track of what you've posted and what might be response to you.

Just a thought

That's a stonking idea
Ed ?

I like the sound of that.

A bit like reader comments on the Daily Mail site - not that I EVER comment on there of course - your own comments appear in a slightly darker grey box.

what if you're colour blind though?

[Bazile]

Although , i feel that the ED will not run with it , because it would costs too much - you know - the cost of the ink

[albaqwerty]

aaah I get it now. Sorry, there was me thinking of different colours for each poster.

[EvianBaby]

Oh gawd no, every post with it's own colour - the thought of that gives me a headache.

I mean only you can see your own post highlighted. Everyone elses look as they do normally, just a white background.

// what if you're colour blind though? //

They can be catered for , by having raised lettering on the screen ?

I really should think before I hit the submit button :-)

I doubt it would work, but a great idea in theory, maybe trial it for a month?

I just look for my avatar, granted not everyone has one but, is easy enough.

[EvianBaby]

Sometimes the avatars end up remarkably similar and seem to blend into one. I know I've missed my own posts before because my av doesn't stand out that much.

[tonyav]

Yep, can't miss those errr elbows, mamya lol.

[Mamyalynne]

Sigh lol

[AB Editor]

Not a bad idea at all.

[Mamyalynne]

[EvianBaby]

Yes, please. But just a light pink. :)
