 * I’m here to ask about a unique function —- Only Author Function (specific user
   reply filter), my blog subscribers very like to create long story(novel) in the
   forum under a topic, but they will split those stories into many chapters as 
   update, for example, one of them post one chapter once a week, when he posted
   a chapter, there are many comments. I would like a function that can filter specific
   user reply under a topic, so reader can see the full story more clearly. Is there
   anywhere to add these this function to bbpress forum? Either Plugin or filter
   hook code or other codes, cherish your replies.

 * For additionally info, the button is under each topic reply, the button is the
   same position with the quote button, it is a button that under each reply of 
   a topic. When toggle the button under the reply, the topic will only show all
   the replies for the specific user, no others’ replies.
   Sample Website: [https://mirror.chromaso.net/thread/1073743999](https://mirror.chromaso.net/thread/1073743999)
   Above is the sample website with this function but the language is Chinese.“引用”
   should be translated to **quote** and beside it the three dots pop-up “只看该
   作者” should be translated to **only see the author**.

 * [@dasword](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dasword/) – sounds like what you’re
   asking for is to multi-sort topic replies. First by the topic author regardless
   of date, then replies from everyone else according to date.
 * Sound about right?
 * Another thought is to create “sticky replies” so a topic author can “stick” specific
   replies to always show at the beginning of a topic…. so weekly chapter updates
   can be displayed in order at the beginning of the topic, but still allowing the
   topic author to post comments/replies within the topic that follow standard reply
   sort order just like all other replies (not sticky).
 * Between the two, which one sounds closer to what you’re seeking?
