I occasionally use this filter on certain topics in my forum.

Two examples:

- On [Pictures of your latest ride continued - General - Unicyclist.com](https://unicyclist.com/t/pictures-of-your-latest-ride-continued/265354?u=canapin), on which users post lots of pictures, I like to filter posts by the user `@turtle`, known for his impressive mountain pictures, and I’d like to be able to share the filtered topic URL with others.

- On [Exoskeleton & Riding - Unicycles and Equipment - Unicyclist.com](https://unicyclist.com/t/exoskeleton-riding/292153?u=canapin), the user `@MadHatchetAndy` is the only member who shared his exhaustive experience of exoskeleton riding, which would make sharing the filtered topic very valuable, information-wise.

The filtering button requests [https://unicyclist.com/t/292153.json?username\_filters=MadHatchetAndy](https://unicyclist.com/t/292153.json?username_filters=MadHatchetAndy), but the browser’s URL, alas, remains unchanged, so we can’t share the filtered topic view.

I hope this is a reasonable request 🙂

I think it’s shareable, but difficult to link

So you can link to [https://unicyclist.com/t/exoskeleton-riding/292153?username\_filters=MadHatchetAndy](https://unicyclist.com/t/exoskeleton-riding/292153?username_filters=MadHatchetAndy). But currently you need to know how to create that link
