What have I done?

Green shading?

Anya does tour device not give your posts a coloured back ground so they are easy to spot ?
My phone and Kindle show mine with a blue background. Maybe the green is on the desktop site.

Sorry Swanny I've no idea how to help.

My phone does but my lap top doesn't, if that helps.

Same here Kitty

Could it be the difference between the mobile site and the desktop site. I'll post this and then check.

Yes, it is. The mobile site colours in one's own posts. The desktop site doesn't.

I've never had anything for the op's subsequent posts but I would quite like to.

try the mobile site, kitty. My posts are coloured on it wherever they appear in a thread.

Then again, perhaps it depends on one's 'device'.

as in the software of some 'devices' support colouring in and some, with inferior software don't

Easily amused, me. ?

Mine were, aren't any more on the iPad. I assumed operator error!

On my hudl OP posts are always green and my posts are blue

Grey blue here, but sun is shining

Feeling deprived now athough mine are coloured the op's never have been

I mostly use my phone bags but it's an android. I quite happy but was just pondering - dangerous!

Meant to As well!!

My iPad doesn't shade my posts ?

Thanks everyone. I've always used my laptop (Windows 10) for posting on GN so don't understand why shadings have suddenly disappeared. Reassuring though that some of you do and some don't have shading, regardless of colour. Might try the mobile but I prefer to use both hands when typing, rather than finger and thumb

Have you checked that you are still logged in to your account?

swanny I think you'd need to be a bit of a contortionist to use finger and thumb. D uses both thumbs as I've seen most people do. I type with just my right but am pretty quick even so.

nina you are so right! I just had to check to see how I did it on the mobile and if I hit the right letter at all with my finger it's a miracle. I have large fingers and often have to resort to using a special rubber-tipped pen on my mobile

Interestingly my posts were shaded blue when I logged in mobile gransnet ... I came back to the laptop and logged out and in again but no change

LaraGransnet thanks for the info but what I don't understand is why I did have OP, and subsequent posts from that person, as well as my own posts highlighted by a sort of emerald green background on my laptop until a couple of days ago. The background of your post is more of a lime green shade

If I go to the bottom of the page on my laptop I can click on 'Mobile site' and get a different layout on screen with blue background for my OP and subsequent posts and dusty pink for yours.

I may be publicly embarassed when/if there's a simple explanation but at the moment I can't think of anything I've done differently to cause the change

MN has the OP's subsequent posts highlighted in one colour and one's own posts highlighted in another. So I don't understand why it might be tricky to have the same on GN
