i would really appreciate a way to, while you’re ISO-ing someone, click directly on a post they’ve made and return to the larger thread, if that makes any sense.
like, you’re looking through someone’s iso and you get to a post, then you want to see the thread context surrounding that post or start reading the thread from there, but the only option is to click the “view posts before/after this”.
There are links before and after every iso post/group of posts that indicate the number of hidden replies. Those are links. You can click to see all the posts in proximity to the ISO post you’re looking at.
right, but i guess i just find myself often wishing i could just go back to the main thread with the post i’m looking at as a starting point rather than just getting those few hidden replies.
try using the in-topic search for @username. You’ll get a drop-down list of links-plus-text to that person’s posts, and still have access to the full topic. Clicking a search link positions you on the linked post.
I think Ffery’s suggestions are the best we have at the moment.
The first two “big” releases in terms of tech/UI will be making ISO better across the board (all devices), and the navigation overhaul (indicators in the topic scrollbar, smooth pagination by days)…hopefully we get those both done in the next half year so look forward to that!
I’ll take a look at the iso thing next week to see if there are any quick fixes for this particular problem though.
thanks! I just had an IT guy at my desk at work for a couple of hours as one of my monitors was showing yellow as green. I had somehow tweaked some very obscure setting which I swear to god I didn’t do but I must have
