to ask why mumsnet has no filter by OP option?

[HoneyBadgerApparently]

Just this really. It would make it so much easier if we could quickly read updates.

You can set it up so the OP's posts are highlighted. I can't remember how I did it though

If you put all the posts on one page, press Ctrl F and type in the OP's username, you can skip down the thread and only read the OP's posts.

Can't do that on the app though :(

And all the posts where the OP is quoted. Or mentioned ...

Yep. Also on threads more than 100msg (the type you usually want to see updates) you're searching several pages.

I have the highlight thing. Maybe I'm just lazy

Do you think if enough of us asked mumsnet would consider adding this function?

You can try ... but with such a large userbase and few complaints I'm sure you can guess what will happen.

There are loads of features I think would benefit MN, but I've learned to keep my counsel . Optional threaded views being the #1 ...

That would reduce browsing time and therefore ad revenue, so it's unlikely. Would be good though.

You set it for 500 or 1000 messages per page.

Is there any way to see a particular person’s posts ? There is one poster who i find hilarious and I’d love to see all her posts as she does them.

How? Mine is only 100 per page.

What ads ?

Yanbu. I always wish this existed as some threads are just so long and I just want to see the op’s updates.

Here's two @DGRossetti

If you go into advanced search and put her full username into the "posted by" field you'll get them all. Worthwhile setting the date field to show just this week's posts (or today's if you're stalking her regularly) so you don't get a billion hits.

A "show OP's posts only" button would be very useful. But people still won't rtft and will ask questions on page 3 that were answered in detail on page 1.

@troodiedoo

very nice tx.

As with salad, I don't feel I'm missing much ....

MrsHathaway thank you. Setting the date is crucial.

A very good use of broadband is to load an entire thread unpaged ...

This question has been asked many times over many years. It's best debated in Site Stuff, where MNHQ will actually see it.

Here is the latest thread in SS, started about a week ago, www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/3229267-can-we-have-the-option-of-just-reading-the-ops-posts

How can you show 1000 posts?

Thanks I think you're probably right about the ads.

I have always wondered why you can't do that. Would be a great feature

Oh I'm really sorry everyone, here's what I found when searching how to get 1000 posts per page.
