Hi all

We're looking at making some improvements to the Talk over the next couple of months. We've had a look at your threads in Site stuff and created a list of features you've been asking for recently. We'd love it if you could vote using the poll below please, to let us know which feature is most important to you. (You all have one vote each).

  • See OP's posts only
Ability to filter a thread to just see posts by the original poster
  • Improve search
  • Save post
Ability to favourite / save posts from other users that you like / find helpful, so you can find them again later. A bit like Instagram's 'Save' feature.
  • Edit your post
Ability to edit your post after it's gone live so you can amend any typos etc
  • Ability to move your thread to different topic
For example if your thread isn't getting a lot of traffic or if you've posted it to the wrong Talk topic
  • Quote reply
Ability to quote another user's post in your post, when replying to something they've said on a thread.
  • View all posts on one page
Being able to view all posts on a thread on one page, rather than having to click 'next page'

Also if we've left anything out, please let us know by posting below - thank you!

See OP's post only or jump to new OP's post would be better

ChicCroissant · 16/09/2019 22:54

I think I just have the standard layout, but that may be something to experiment with tomorrow, thanks for the tip Grin

Sparklingbrook · 16/09/2019 22:43

The only one i might use on that list is the edit function but it would have to be timed.
Really, really don't want a Like button.

Definitely these three things, would be a massive improvement and really useful. And to be able to do it in both the app and the mobile site via safari.

BIWI · 16/09/2019 22:35

Ah. I don’t have pages so probably a different version of MN. Classic?

ChicCroissant · 16/09/2019 22:32

Where is the bookmark option for you on the desktop site, @BIWI? I just have to remember which page I'm on Grin

BIWI · 16/09/2019 21:51

@ChicCroissant I use the desktop site and can bookmark!

LadyOfTheCanyon · 16/09/2019 21:42

OP posts only please

Improve search especially on mobile app where a lot of threads pop up as if visible but then you see they were 30 days only. Why are they still there???

I'm against an edit function because it will mean a delay in posting, so while people are in the 2/3 minute act of editing their post, other people are replying to the unedited one. I realise that you could make the edits visible, but in threads that regularly go up to 1K posts, nobody had the time for that.

Toooldtobearsed2 · 16/09/2019 21:35

Oh god, if you could improve the search function I would be overjoyed.
It is worse than useless at the moment, which only adds to the same 'new' posts being trotted out ad nauseum.

Should be number one priority. But i do love the OP only posts being shown......

Search.

ChicCroissant · 16/09/2019 21:18

Another one here who would like the ability to block individual posters.

There are no bookmarks on MN for me (desktop version) so some way of marking a thread would be really useful.

Rollerbird · 16/09/2019 21:13

See op's posts only.
Edit feature, but only available for a few minutes, to prevent too much after the event editing.

Catbot · 16/09/2019 20:58

Improve search! Especially in the app.

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 16/09/2019 20:52

NewElthamMum13 · 16/09/2019 20:48

A "like" option on posts. There are so many brilliant posts and I'd like to be able to show appreciation.

ratatata · 16/09/2019 20:45

I would love to see like and dislike buttons
