To want to easily be able to search OP's updates

[Samwelly]

AIBU not to want to read the whole of lengthy thread sometimes, but just be able to search updates from the OP? Unless I'm mistaken there seems to be no easy what doing this without physically trawling through each page. Sometimes, life is too short but it would be great to find out "What happened"

Then customise your pages so the OP is in a different colour to the rest of the posts.

Colour the OPs posts in, and maybe yours, under customise.
Switch to more posts on each page, so less page flipping to do.

Sam I have my settings so that the OP (in this case, you) is a mid grey. My own posts on a thread are lilac. Everyone else is white.

And yes to 1000 posts per page.

I know what you mean OP, it would be handy to slide across and select "posts by OP only" or something!

Just press CTRL+F and search for the poster's username?

Maid that's exactly what colours I have it's very easy to customise OP in your settings

OMG. Thanks all! The advice is brilliant! I will set to work now and customise the colour of the OP posts and alter the number of posts visible!

I do what the others do, OP's posts are in lilac and 1000 posts per page. The facilities to customise are all available.

Are you able to do this on a phone as well??

I just press control f and then type the OP's user name into the box and it highlights all their posts in yellow.

oh cross post.
