It would be incredibly useful on long threads if we could press a button that skips the pages of theories, side conversations etc and just jumps to the OPs last comment. It is incredibly useful to have OPs posts in a seperate colour, but some times I'm lazy and can't be arsed to scroll through pages to find their latest update. 😁
Thank you for considering helping out lazy sods like me in advance!

You can click on "see all" under the first OP post and get only the OPs posts. Then flip the thread to have most recent first so you don't have to scroll much.

I'd love to be able to see the OP's posts on the app. Doesn't work at the moment.

BodegaSushi · 21/05/2023 12:59

Do you use the app? This feature (and many others) isn't available on the app 🥲

I made a separate thread about the inferiority of the app and it's the usual 'we're working on it' replies

Works for me. I use the funnel type button at the top right, select the OP then flip the thread...

There's no 'see all' option for me in the app

CarryOnThen · 21/05/2023 13:02

Ah I don't use the app. I've never understood what it's for when it looks fine on mobile in the web browser.

VisionsOfSplendour · 21/05/2023 13:05

I use see all and quickly move to the last one, takes a second

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 21/05/2023 13:07

I believe the app works differently on Android and Apple. I'm on Android. Have actually deleted the app after a login issue recently and agree the web version is fine on phone usually.

NewPinkJacket · 21/05/2023 13:10

I honestly don't know why people use the app when desktop has always been way better.

I just have MN bookmarked in my phone browser and use it that way.

I tried the app ages ago and it was rubbish.

Well, the app is clearly better for some of us! The app on iPhone works great (I think there are issues if using Android).

Nah apple ap is way better than website.

Apart from you can't quote quotes or take part in polls.

But easy and clear to use.

Not. On. Android.

I find the app much more user friendly as everything is bigger and clearer and there aren’t as many buttons for things, the layout is more accessible to me. So they should invest more in it as there are clearly people for whom it’s easier to use

Not everyone has access to a desktop Confused

I don't have a job that requires computers and am out and about a lot. My phone is my main source of internet, and the app flows much better than the mobile site

BodegaSushi · 21/05/2023 13:25

Oh yes I have the 'see all' function on the app, it's the 'see next' that I don't, and I find that white useful as well, as I can bookmark OP's last post then check back and see if there's an update by seeing if there's a 'see next' under it

Mabelface · 21/05/2023 13:26

I'd like it if when you click on a watched thread, it goes from the last post you've read, plus from when you posted

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 21/05/2023 13:30

I use the mobile site and you can do that with this bit

I can't understand what this means? Surely it goes from where you bookmarked?

HerMammy · 21/05/2023 13:32

It would be great if ppl
didn't copy and paste the entire OP to then say I agree!!
It's so unnecessary.

God yes! This is incredibly annoying especially with long OP's.

I use the desktop version on my mobile? I have Chrome and the default Internet browser on my phone, you don't need a desktop PC to view the desktop version.
