Is there a way to jump from one OPs post to next on a thread?

Sootienco · 17/06/2019 17:41

Sometimes I'll read an OPand they'll be pages of people replying but I just wnat to read what's happened next ect... And have to scroll through pages searching for the next green post.

If there's 15+ pages it's very annoying.

Can there be a way to be able to just skip to the OPs posts within a thread?

Don't know but if not then can we have this function looked into please MNHQ?

VallarMorghulis · 17/06/2019 18:04

Yes please!

Terramirabilis · 17/06/2019 18:04

That would be so useful!

ElizabethG81 · 17/06/2019 18:13

On a laptop I just show all posts then do crtl + f to find all the OP's posts.

MaximusHeadroom · 17/06/2019 18:14

That would be awesome. Especially when the OP is in trouble and you want to find out if they are ok

llangennith · 17/06/2019 18:18

Oh yes that'd be so good! It's so annoying having to look and look and look. Especially when the OP buggers off after a few posts🙄

stayathomer · 17/06/2019 18:20

Same here would love this! Also if you could skip to the point you posted

BayandBlonde · 17/06/2019 18:20

Oooh yes, this would save so much time searching for an update amongst hundreds of replies to then find OP has disappeared

mummyhaschangedhername · 17/06/2019 18:20

That's such a good idea.

CaptainHammer · 17/06/2019 18:50

@ElizabethG81 I do that too. Also on an iPad you can type the user name in the address bar, scroll down and it’ll show any matches.

Sootie’s way would be a bit easier.

Dec2019mumtobe · 17/06/2019 19:54

I'd appreciate this function too

Merename · 17/06/2019 20:00

This would be excellent- like pp says, especially for those threads when a situation is developing and you want to see how op is.

hopeishere · 17/06/2019 20:05

@stayathomer you can just bookmark your own post yo do that!

Bluntness100 · 17/06/2019 20:08

Also on an iPad you can type the user name in the address bar

What address bar please?

And I'd love this function too. It's a royal pain in the arse having to scroll through to find the ops posts.

Daffodil2018 · 17/06/2019 20:10

I would love this. I use the app and end up speed scrolling looking for the blue bar around the OP's name but it takes ages!

MadeForThis · 17/06/2019 20:15

Would love this on the iOS app

Catzpyjamas · 17/06/2019 20:18

If you select "View all messages" from the options at the too of the thread, then you can use the search function on the browser to just find OP's posts and move from one to the next.

CaptainHammer · 17/06/2019 20:26

@Bluntness100 the address bar at the top of the screen where you’ve typed in mumsnet.com. It explains it better here, 3rd one down (How to search the text on a specific web page using the Smart Search bar) www.imore.com/how-use-smart-search-bar-safari-iphone-and-ipad

Bluntness100 · 17/06/2019 20:42

Thanks captain.

stayathomer · 17/06/2019 21:58

hopeishere ooh thanks!!!

Newuseroftheweek · 18/06/2019 03:06

I've changed my settings so it defaults to showing all messages when I open threads. You can also just scroll down and posts by the OP are marked in green. (Android/Laptop)

JanineMumsnet · 18/06/2019 09:25

Watch this space Grin

JanineMumsnet · 18/06/2019 09:27

...I realise that was unnecessarily cryptic. This is a feature we are working on at the moment, so it's really nice to know it's something you want. I can't promise when it will be released, but hopefully very soon.
