There is a bookmark function, why do people 'place mark'?

Seneca you can watch the thread but then bookmark the last post you get to, and then it'll take you straight there to carry on reading any new posts next time. So useful for massively long threads!

Spread the word everyone, we could halve the lengths of popular and fast moving threads if people start using it!

Is the bookmark function on the mobile site? Where is it?

If you're 'Watching' you don't get to read the deletion message and have your suspicions confirmed.

I didn't know there was a bookmark!

Never place mark though haven't got a clue how the dot helps you mark your place.

How do you use the bookmark?

Once they've commented it shows up on Threads I'm On so they can find it again easily. Either they don't know about the Watch function or don't trust it to work!

Shamelessly marks place

Because in my experience the 'Watching' never bloody works.

SenecaFalls · 24/05/2016 18:26

I never place mark. I use "watch this thread."

Because they don't know about the bookmark? I don't, and I've been here 8 years!

I wish I knew - it's so annoying when a thread fills up with people saying 'marking my place' or just a dot. Use the flipping bookmark function !
