in reply to Filter by Node Rep

One potential problem with your idea is that the filter would essentially "break up" conversations. You would see nodes out of context. This could lead to misunderstandings.

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    That is simple to fix, collapse the node down to just title, like if it was beyond your threshold for replies. Then you could click on it to see it if you wanted, or just know that user X said something there. That way there would be no confusion (alright maybe not no, but at least less or little confusion)

      Some people might not bother to see those collapsed nodes, especially in a long thread.

        Some people won't bother to read a long thread before posting. Either way this would be optional. If it doesn't work for you, or you miss to many messages that should have been read then turn it off. Personaly I think it would be great and I hope maybe a way could be found to implement it on at least search and newest nodes. As long as there is always a way to bypass or turn it off then I'm happy.
