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

[Sootienco]

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?

Yes please!

That would be so useful!

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

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

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🙄

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

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

That's such a good idea.

@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.

I'd appreciate this function too

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

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

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.

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!

Would love this on the iOS app

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.

@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

Thanks captain.

hopeishere ooh thanks!!!

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)

Watch this space

...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.
