Viewing recent threadmarks or posts by followed authors

[cosoco]

I've followed a number of authors here who have written good stories, and it would be helpful if I could find new threadmarks made by one of the people I'm following.

The list of new threadmarks shows me all threadmarks on the site. I can filter to my watched threads, but my intent is to find *new* threads I haven't seen before.

I have the news feed: https://forum.questionablequesting.com/whats-new/news-feed
However, this also includes the their likes, not just new posts.

I have the filter function of a forum, accessible by opening a forum and filtering by user, but I don't see a way to specify all users in my follow list, or even multiple users at once.

Is there something I'm missing here? Maybe I overlooked a way to do this.

In summary, I'm looking for one of the following features, whichever is easiest to implement.
1. A way to subset "New threadmarks" to followed users.
2. A way to subset "Your news feed" to only posts or only threadmarked posts.
3. A way to specify multiple users at once in the filter options for viewing a forum.

It may not be the most elegant method but this is an option. If you click the search icon, select advanced search, and tap on the "Search Threads" option you can input all of the authors' names. You can then select all of the forums you want to search, then select the "Display results as threads" option.

Once you click search and see the results, you can save it as a bookmark since search terms are included in the URL

Thank you, that's quite helpful. I forgot that was possible. I tried your technique, and I just now found a great thread that I completely missed.

This works. Thanks, I've been wanting something like this for some time.

Wait, not quite.

If you just bookmark the search page it doesn't seem to update when you reload it, being that one of the names I've got in the URL posted ~30 minutes ago, and it isn't displaying. When I actually copy and paste the names into the advanced search again, though, it does bring up the latest posts. So, rather than bookmarking the search page, I've just saved the collection of names in my notes app, and I'll paste that into the advanced search when I want to check the latest activity.
