As some of you have already spotted, we've just released a feature that allows filtering threads to see all the OP's posts, and to jump to the next post from the OP. This is something a number of you have been wanting for a while. It's being rolled out across multiple servers and across the app over the next 24 hours - so don't panic if you don't see it immediately - it's on it's way!

In addition we've released filter posts by User (as well as by OP) for Premium members.

We tested a few different variations with Mumsnetters so hopefully it's intuitive and useful but it's just a first pass and we will be improving the design, so please do, as ever, let us know if anything's amiss or confusing.

Further explanation here:
Filter by OP
You will now see two options at the bottom of the OP posts - ‘see next’ will skip you to the next post by the OP and ‘see all’ will show you a filtered view of all the posts by the OP on that thread. You’ll need to be logged in to use this feature.

Filter by user
On mobile, on any post click the menu icon (the icon with the three dots), and click 'See all posts'. On desktop, click the 'See all' link in the top right hand corner of any post. This will show you a filtered view of all the users posts on that thread. This is a premium feature so you’ll be prompted to sign in or create a premium account to use it.

I just noticed this and I love it.

I've been dreaming of the jump to next post button for years. Thank you MNHQ!

Notcoolmum · 03/07/2020 00:37

I don't know how to quote plesantville yes I could see we can now filter by OP and not all posters in the thread. The beta version I tested did both. Enjoyed the functionality.

PatricksRum · 03/07/2020 04:12

Yay! Thanks Justine

incog1000 · 03/07/2020 07:05

Does this mean name changers even if it's for a valid reason get found out Grin?

Inforthelonghaul · 03/07/2020 08:21

Love this thank you!!

Minniee · 03/07/2020 08:37

Can someone show me what it's supposed to look like and how to get it?

Still not on the app on my iPhone.

catinb0oots · 03/07/2020 08:37

This is brilliant

It's working on my iPhone. You need you go to the little arrow on the right, where the new quote feature is.

Where's the quote feature? Can't see it on my phone.

Incase it helps, when the update arrives in the iOS app it will look like this, with two buttons you can use to filter the thread. The post menu opens by swiping the post.

We should test it

Only if they are the OP , I suppose, @00100001

Please can it go in the three dots? It’s perfect for advice and support threads or where posters are awaiting an OP update, but it’s annoying on chat threads. It takes up extra space in the already small window of my phone screen. I keep thinking it’s HQ posting when it’s just the OP. Please make it hideable.

AnneKipanki · 03/07/2020 10:13

Ooh you Devil 😈 @00100001 Grin
