It is an odd request perhaps but I am sure it used to be the case that I would see all my posts in blue - it made it a lot easier to see if a post was quoted so you could politely reply.....

Is there an option I can switch on for this?

I seem to remember a PHer making a Greasemonkey script for this years ago, might be worth a Google to see if it can be found?

I thiiiiiink it was incorporated into the main codebase - there certainly was a time when my posts were showing up as blue in multiquotes - I just can't remember whether that was from that Greasemonkey script, or from PH!

I see my posts in a pale blue.

Browser issue? I'm using Chrome browser

Posts or quotes?

Quotes aren't blue, not sure if they ever were though.

Yes if someone quotes me and replies then it is not in blue.

It may be I am making it up but I thought previously quotes were also shown in blue as it made it a lot easier to see if someone quoted your post so you can reply.

That was a bit of client side Javascript written by a member IIRC.

Are you logged in?

My posts show up in blue when I'm logged in, and not when I'm not.

Quotes used to be in blue. Made it much easier to skim a thread and quickly see if you'd been quoted by anyone.

Exactly, I am glad it is not just me.

They did, a member wrote some client-side Javascript to make it work. This is why you would see, when it was working, the OP quotes would pop into blue very slightly after the page loaded. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if either Haymarket removed it, or (more likely) broke it by being unaware it was there.

There’s no fixing what’s broken, so no chance of suggested improvements.

Indeed I wonder how many replies I now miss and seem rude in not responding to people.

Come on Admin, can you please put this back or fix it!?!?

To be clear, you're saying that posts of yours that have been quoted, are shaded in blue?

Nope, that's not highlighting your quoted post, only your original posts.
