I know you can highlight them, and that's great, but it's a pain to scroll through multiple pages to hunt for just the highlighted posts.

Any chance of a temporary ignore function button that would collapse everyone else down in a thread like ignored posts so you can quickly catch up on info from an OP before you start contributing help?

That is a great idea! I have tagged this for goatboy.

I would prefer a feature that lets you search within a single thread.

Want to see only OP's posts?  Search by name.
And you get the flexibility to search for more things, like particular words or phrases.

Almost every browser has the ability to do a keyword search for a page you are viewing. For example, in Microsoft Explorer it's under the edit tab.

So, while I see the utility of what you're asking for, it's a bit redundant compared to what I propose in the first post.

Thanks for the teaching moment!

But that doesn't let me search a single 30 page thread.

So after reflecting on this a little bit...

Would be nice if there was a drop down somewhere on each post that would let you check mark select to display only the following:
1) OP
2) Your Messages
3) Messages from those your "following" list (Think the opposite of ignore list)

So, you could check any one or all three of those, and posts in a respective thread would be displayed or hidden based on what you do or don't have checked.

I'm still interested in this, for what it's worth.

When I’m on safari I just triple click on the username. That selects the name and white space after it... then I copy the selection and use”find”

So it takes me to each post from that user - while ignoring when that person was quoted etc.

Added to the list. I'll see what I can do that makes sense... Possibly a sub-view of the thread with just the OP posts condensed for easy reading. (OP Summary?)

The guy talking about a search function was right. That would be the ideal solution here. Searching the page is a PITA because you have to "find" then click the next page and go back to the "find" box and repeat for however many pages there are. That can get really annoying and isn't really feasible as a tool search long threads. So that's not really redundant at all.

This solution would get you what you want (a list of op posts, or your own, or someone else's, etc as search results) as well as badly needed additional functionality.

And a great example of when you could really use the "only view OP's post feature":

Ed reported this is on the list for integration in the last updates info thread! Here's to hoping it makes the next upgrade.

Thanks, and not being high on the list is understandable. This thread came to mind while reading through a few threads where members have had a loved one pass and there are hundreds of posts of support(glad to see!!!!). In those threads it'd be nice to quickly see if the respective member has posted with any needs/concerns we could all help with in some way.

Another good example of when it'd nice to see just what OP said for updates:
https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/Took-wife-to-ER-last-night/199-2513991/?

Here's to hoping it might be part of the rollout of "changes" mentioned in the Hubris thread.
