Could we have a button that takes us straight to our last comment

...when we use the "I'm on" tab?

Sometimes threads move along so quickly I have to keep going through trying to find my last comment. It would be really good to have some kind of feature that would automatically take us to our last comment.

I use the mobile version on my iPhone so apologies if it's already available on desktop or the app!

But you only have one bookmark per thread. So you might bookmark your last post, or bookmark the last post that you read (posted by someone else).

When you go back to that thread, it takes you to your bookmark. You read more of the thread, maybe you post another comment yourself - and then bookmark the last post you read, or your last comment. Then the bookmark 'moves' to that place. You don't get a series of bookmarks on one thread, just your last bookmark.

Thanks for the replies. The only problem with bookmarking is that I'll end up with hundreds of bookmarks which makes it all confusing. I will try it out though.

The easiest thing would be perhaps a little tab on top of the thread labelled "my comments", which you'd press and you'd get a link to Your last comment.

Book mark takes you whereever you marked.invluding on mobile.
On TIO you used to be able to click on the post rather than title & it would take you there.doesnt appear to work now.

It takes you there but in TIO you have to touch the thread title not one of the posts. In the mobile version each post has 3 dots in the bottom RH corner, touch these and one option is bookmark.

If you've forgotten, you can use your search button, on my phone (Iphone) just type in a unique part of your name in the search box (so for me wheret works, for you pfast should) and one of the options is "on this page, pick that and it goes straight to wherever your name first is, you can skip through to your last post easily.

I've never got bookmark to work either. Is it just a visual label or does it actually take you to the marked spot?

Pipbin · 13/04/2016 06:18

I agree. I've tried to bookmark but I've never got it to work.

RolandaHooch · 13/04/2016 05:59

Yes, as Fru says, use bookmark. On the mobile version swipe to the left and tap bookmark. You can do this on the last post you read or your own post. Next time you go on that thread it will begin at that point.

Other chat sites have this I'd like one too but have asked before and it's been ignored.

You can bookmark your last comment, although I have no idea how it works on the mobile version.

On the desktop version the bookmark is in the bottom, right hand corner of your post (when you hover your cursor over that area, then you have to click on the word Bookmark). But first you have to go into Customise and check the box that says 'Display Bookmark Links'.
