Request for post filtering

[donato]

I think the board would benefit from the option to filter all the posts in a thread under one user's posts. For example, if I'm reading a thread and decide I would like to read all posts by James Jacobs, I could filter the thread to only show his posts.

I think it would be a helpful feature, if it's something that could be implemented.

It would also be useful to be able to killfile/block out all posts from a user.

There is an option to click on a users name, and then read 'recent posts' by that user. When I'm interested in James' input on a thread, it's easy enough to just click on his recent posts and read only the ones that pertain to that thread.

Or, yanno, I can click on my own name and find out if anyone replied to anything I posted recently.

It's not exactly what you were looking for, but it's totally useful for cyberstalking people.

Someone wrote extensions for Firefox and Chrome to do that. They work pretty well.

We're not going to do a killfile/ignore feature. Highlighting is slightly more likely to happen, but not very high on the todo list at the moment. Something like a Greasemonkey script is your best bet.
