Filter by OP

JustineMumsnet · 02/07/2020 13:54

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.

@igotmyreddressontonight use the funnel at the top.

@DawnMumsnet OP works ok

JaneJeffer · 04/07/2020 20:02

Oh I see you found it @igotmyreddressontonight. If I had premium I could have seen that instantly Wink

Ignore me. I've found it. Smile
Phew. Smile
SkinSkin · 04/07/2020 21:13

@dawnmumsnet the filter isn't working on iPhone 7, using the app, all fully updated.

SkinSkin · 04/07/2020 21:28

Oh, scrap that, I realise I wasn't doing the OP but just a nearby poster. My bad!

LizzieMacQueen · 04/07/2020 21:58

@DawnMumsnet I think I may have spotted a flaw with this, don't want to say but if you DM me I'll explain.

Eeks, no, really?!

Have DM'd you, @LizzieMacQueen, but I'm not around for much longer tonight, so you may want to hit the report button on your post and tell us that way too.

@ViveLEntenteCordiale

It is great! I beta tested it for all posters, it's a shame we had that and it's been taken away. (I'm long-term sick and DH is out of work so no I can't afford premium.) Also on the app the bookmark feature is now the third item on the pull-out menu after quote and filter and therefore not very user friendly. I would have thought bookmark was used the most (certainly more than a premium-only feature) so why not have it nearer the beginning? I'll be annoying people by place marking with a post now, I'm afraid.
Does this mean that on the premium version all of a poster's posts are visible?
Justkeeprollingalong · 04/07/2020 23:39

Ive logged in but can't see filter by OP on my iPhone.

Justkeeprollingalong · 04/07/2020 23:42

Found it!

isitorisntit · 04/07/2020 23:51

Nowt on my app 🤔

ViveLEntenteCordiale · 05/07/2020 00:05

@SuckingDieselFella on the version I tested you could click on any poster in the thread and see all their posts in that thread. When you clicked on the filter the names of all the people in the thread would come up to choose from. So on the list my name would show with a 2 to I indicate that I'd posted twice on this thread, then if you clicked on my name you'd see my previous post and this one. I presume this is what has been rolled out on premium (I'm don't want to click back to check OP from Justine right now as 'show original post is behaving oddly for me too). I liked it because if posters were mentioned by name but I'd forgotten what they'd said it was easy to find them again!

I see MNHQ are not very interested in my comments... obviously my free testing service is not worth much Hmm

ViveLEntenteCordiale · 05/07/2020 00:07

Oh for the use of the 5-second edit button to insert the missing inverted comma after 'show original post' Grin

BigChocFrenzy · 05/07/2020 00:40

All working for me on iPad
and I enjoyed my first Premium feature to filter by Poster Smile

Thanks, very useful

ErrmWTAF · 05/07/2020 04:37

"... it's on its way"

Fixed it for you. You're welcome. Grin

Phthalo · 05/07/2020 09:17

Yessssss I have been asking for this for YEARS!!! Loving it

MoaningMinniee · 05/07/2020 12:39

@DawnMumsnet you've tagged the wrong @Minniee !

Minniee · 05/07/2020 16:14

That's so funny @moaningminniee I thought Dawn was calling me names Grin

famousforwrongreason · 05/07/2020 23:10

I love it. No more wading through reams of absolute judgmental and narrow minded inexperienced claptrap to get to the actual point.

Binglebong · 06/07/2020 01:58

LOVE this! Thank you so much. The next I'd really like would be an option to get emails about new posts only when it's the OP who posted (relevant since of the time - depends on subject!) and to be able to set Watching so it is ordered by latest update. So if thread C is updated after thread B C would go to the top.

But this is a huge improvement ove already used loads!

notapizzaeater · 06/07/2020 10:45

Loving this new feature ! Saves hunting through the thread for updates

Hi @ViveLEntenteCordiale - sorry we missed your post over the weekend.

First of all, thanks very much for being one of our beta testers - the feedback you all provided was invaluable in helping to develop this feature (and if I could slip you a free Premium subscription, I'd do it in a heartbeat Smile Unfortunately I'd have to say the same to all the many other testers, though...)

We do take your point about the new order of these icons on the app, with the bookmark button now being in the middle. Is anyone else finding this problematic? If so, please let us know here on this thread - we can certainly ask our Tech team if they can shuffle things around if lots of you are hitting the wrong button by mistake.

Thanks again Flowers Brew Cake
