To think Mumsnet should have a feature so that you can filter only the OP's responses...

...but maybe there is such a feature and I'm just not aware of it.

It would be such a great feature if you could click and select to see all the OP's responses so you don't have to read through 20 pages of responses before commenting, many of which are completely irrelevant as they have not bothered (or had time, totally get this) to read all the responses before replying.

Mumsnet - can we have this, please??

Just click see all

CitrineRaindropPhoenix · 17/05/2024 09:03

There is that feature. On the website you can click "see all" and the Op's posts will magically appear. On the app, there is a filter button.

GuppytheCat · 17/05/2024 09:03

Is this an ironic post?

If not: just click on 'see all' on the OP.

BriceNobeslovesMurielHeslop · 17/05/2024 09:03

It’s there in the bottom right corner where it says “OP Posts See All”

IncompleteSenten · 17/05/2024 09:03

There is.

Surely not a genuine post 😂

NextPhaseOfLife · 17/05/2024 09:04

This has been available for years, OP.

It is indeed useful!

SwingTheMonkey · 17/05/2024 09:05

🤦🏻‍♀️

fiftyandfat · 17/05/2024 09:05

YABU given that the feature you suggest has been available for ages.

Seeline · 17/05/2024 09:07

And as shown by the screenshots, you can change your settings so that OP posts are a different colour.
You can also change your own posts to a different colour.

dontcryformeargentina · 17/05/2024 09:08

I didn't know this feature was available. Thanks for pointing it out

notyetretired · 17/05/2024 09:10

OMG - didn't know this. From the beginning, reading replies that clearly had not referred back to the OP I just assumed the 'see all' was all the post from the OP on all threads, so didn't even attempt to use it.

Why do so many people not bother to use this - far too many responses where they clearly haven't read all the OP's updates.

I think it’s time Mumsnet had a ‘like’ button but maybe instead of ‘like’ they call it something stupid like ‘thanks’.

Musicaltheatremum · 17/05/2024 09:11

If you have an android phone you can't do this.

Bankholidayhelp · 17/05/2024 09:11

On the app though see all (and thanks) isn't available.

Thanks - kind answer. I bet there are others who don't actually know this. I'm not a huge user of MN and usually read all the responses (unless pages long)...

There must be lots of others as there are always masses of replies which indicate the person commenting has not read all the OP's posts on a particular thread.

I have an android phone and I can use the 'see all' feature

Aussiegold · 17/05/2024 09:13

I've got an android phone and I can use the "see all" button.

CherryogDog · 17/05/2024 09:14

@Musicaltheatremum I also have an android and use the feature all the time.
I don't use the app though so don't know if that's different?

WhatADisappointmentYouTurnedOut · 17/05/2024 09:15

If the OP uses the app then she won't have seen it, no need for the sarky posts

Testina · 17/05/2024 09:16

I thought this was going to be a sarcastic post 🤣

notyetretired · 17/05/2024 09:16

I've never used the app.

As I said before, I assumed (erroneously) that the 'See all' referred to displaying all the posts the OP had posted on ALL threads.

It seemed backed up by the fact that so many people on all threads seem to reply with the same answer (a bit like on this post tbh)!
