I understand with the forum situation where all the services, providers, ddos attacks, and so on going on this will likely never have the opportunity to be worked on but I figured I'd post it as a suggested feature incase null, staff, and/or other users think it would be useful.
On other forums I read, within a thread there would be a button along the top of a user's post where it would list meta data information like how this forum has the Datetime, post number, share button, there would be a button, bookmark, and the highlight if highlighted, there would be a "filter" button and it would display all the post by that user in the thread on the page and allow you to browse all the post with no other post showing (except if they had a quote within their post form another user).
Remembering this feature from another forum while browsing large threads in this forum, It made me think of how useful it would be if something like this existed, but instead of filtering the user's post, it filtered and displayed all the highlighted post in a thread.
So instead of reading the 1-3 highlighted post per page before loading the next page when you click the "Go to Next Highlight" (fa-forward) icon, you'd have 20 high lighted post per page load.
I know its not a huge deal when browsing the site at times where the page loads or quick, but given how often the site is attacked and bandwidth/latency is more of an issue it would possibly provide for a better experience if other users often go to larger threads and read only the highlighted post.
Again, I understand its unlikely to be worked on given such higher priority issues going on but I figured its worth posting the idea in case people like it, it'll at least be written some where and maybe added to a "save for later" list. Or maybe go to that Sneedforo project (can't remember the name or if its still being worked on, if it is, please link because I'd like to look at the code for that and see if I could contribute commits).
