Show only OP

[Minusorange]

Why is this a thing now ?

Useful for MM, build and motor threads where you're not particularly interested others comments.

Eh ? OP is literally the first thing you see when you click on a thread though

Or does it show only posts made by the "original poster" as opposed to just the "original post"

Yes - it shows all posts by the Original Poster

 

[Maccapacca]

For example you could look at crinkleshoes motors thread and just select his posts

That's clever, I like that.

 

[DaleTheWhale]

Ooh I like. This will be perfect in the MM.

Okay that makes sense for why it's now a thing

 

[shadow_boxer]

Good stuff. I like it.

Use the option in this thread and it's clear the OP hasn't used it

additional feature request- can we have a badge to highlight posts by the op in-thread, for when you do want to see everyone else's posts.

Handy for when we have updates on a tasty thread which are buried under tons of dad jokes.

I dunno if they can perhaps change the wording to make that clearer:

“Show only OP’s posts” perhaps

But it does sound like quite a useful feature.

Now that's a really good feature!

It looks rubbish though. Get a better UI designer.

Also, if you check one box the other box isn't automatically checked. This is terrible for OCD. It also means that it is possible to check both Show only OP boxes and then have the entire thread revealed!

Madness.

Like that idea.

took a while to see the two boxes but yeah that's daft! tick box just looks a bit wonky because it's not in line with the text

useful to check op posts - yes, but,
if it leads to increased duplication of replies (of dad kokes?), where folks fail to read preceeding posts, then kind of self-defeating.

This is FANTASTIC. Can I tick it for the ENTIRE forum?

I am only interested in what Housey has to say, he is ace and knows nothing

Sorry, I mean everything.

I think.
