So the ability to see an OPs posts is now a Premium feature by the back door?

No one else noticed that you can't now click on the OP's 'See all' posts but you're redirected to an option to opt in to the Premium service? Never mind, I can live without it being able to look at all the OP's posts in one go. It was nice while it lasted, but it's hardly a deal-breaker.

Just would have been nice to have had some notice it was happening, or that it was ultimately going to be a Premium feature. Just suspicious now how many more features are going to be sneaked in by the back door to be Premium features. You know, for those who can't afford to commit to a monthly fee for things they rely on...

I can see all OP’s posts too
I’m not a premium member

Thisisnotnormal69 · 10/09/2020 18:38

That would be bloody sneaky. Hasn’t changed for me yet though.

Thesuzle · 10/09/2020 18:39

Just clicked on you see all. And it worked for me, I’m not premium either

GertiMJN · 10/09/2020 18:40

I found the other day that I could still filter by OP but if I wanted to filter by another user in the thread, I got a message saying it was a premium feature.

BitOfFun · 10/09/2020 18:48

You don't really rely on being able to see all the OP's posts, do you?

Maybe you'd been logged out? If you're not logged in then you can't do see all for the op

BitOfFun · 11/09/2020 05:26

You can just type the username you want to read into the search bar, scroll down, and click "on this page". It takes maybe four seconds longer than the facility offered by being a Premium member.

WorraLiberty · 11/09/2020 10:50

It still works for me and I'm not a premium member.

Ginkypig · 11/09/2020 13:49

I just tested it on this thread and the result for me is that I can see all from the person who started the thread but if I click to see all from any other poster on the thread it tells me it is a premium feature.

I'm not a premium user.

tribpot · 11/09/2020 13:58

Yes, just to confirm - I am a premium member and I can filter on @Butterer's posts for example. Filter/navigate OP's posts is available to everyone. I suppose it makes sense to show the option to 'See all' on every post and then tell you you can't do it unless you're a premium member, but it seems like it would be a better user experience if the option just didn't exist unless it was applicable to your membership.

@Ginkypig yes same for me, can see all OPs posts but couldn’t do the same for other posters (didn’t know this was an option before anyway to be fair!)

Devlesko · 11/09/2020 14:28

I can see the posts, you just go to advance search, haven't tried the other way.

AuntyPasta · 11/09/2020 14:30

I only noticed this was an option a t all a couple of days ago.

ChicCroissant · 11/09/2020 14:31

Just to echo PP, I can still see all the OP's posts in a thread.

I'm not a premium member so the option to do that for everyone's posts has never been available. Can use search to do that if needed.

AnneLovesGilbert · 11/09/2020 14:32

Works for me.

What are people relying on that they can’t get for free?

ChessieFL · 11/09/2020 14:34

How do you see all for other users? I am a premium member and didn’t know this was an option.

Theimpossiblegirl · 11/09/2020 14:38

Sometimes I go to click on something, my screen moves and I click premium, could that be what has happened, op?

Hmmmm is Advanced Search going to be phased out do we think? Asking for a friend Wink.
