Bookmarking adds to watch list and creates notification I cannot dismiss.

I can see that MNHQ have been tinkering again...

On one of the posts I bookmarked it added it too my watch list (which I don't want and it never used to) and it also created a massive "added to watch list" notification which I was unable to dismiss and prevented me doing anything else on the page. I think it may have happened on this particular thread as I had no previous bookmarks?

Please don't make bookmarks add a thread to the watch list.

Please don't make notifications you can't dissmis...

Hello,

Just making you aware that we have made some changes to bookmarking, which we have posted about here.

boatyardblues · 22/05/2019 22:12

I disn’t like the bright blue. Posts with shading by the OP or mine were hidden by it.

boatyardblues · 22/05/2019 22:10

The bookmark icon was too close to the 3 dots. If it reappears, please space them out.

terfsandwich · 22/05/2019 21:17

Still happening to me.

Datun · 22/05/2019 18:58

What's going on now??

I click on a thread and I'm getting a load of code.

CodenameVillanelle · 22/05/2019 17:37

Hmmmm
Are you going to fix the pop up issue and give us the bookmark button and colour change back?

Pascha · 22/05/2019 17:19

Thank you. I would still like the bookmark icon and changing the colour of the bookmarked post, that was great. Just not forcing it to go onto TIW.

Datun · 22/05/2019 17:18

Can we have the wee clicky bookmark icon and blue highlighting back though, because that was a good thing. Just unlink it from watched threads?

Yes please. That bit was brilliant. The bookmark icon on a post gets lost when you are scrolling trying to find where you are.

And countless times if I open a thread it does not go to the bit that's bookmarked. So a bright blue colour jumps off the screen, it was fantastic.

Thanks MNHQ Flowers

Hi there all,

This should have been reversed now, but do let us know if it's still happening.

Sorry about this. Flowers

OokSaidTheLibrarian · 22/05/2019 16:58

Just came here to say exactly this. Please don't add bookmarks to my watch list automatically. A separate watch this thread option please.

HelloYouTwo · 22/05/2019 16:57

All of the above - and it’s still happening.

I like the bookmark link though Smile

chemenger · 22/05/2019 16:55

Just popped on here to say that I don' want every thread I bookmark added to my watch list either.

WappersReturns · 22/05/2019 16:43

Just arrived to see if this was deliberate or a cock up. Please don't tell me I have to watch every thread I bookmark permanently Confused

The pop up notification fades away now, but it is still adding threads to the watch list when they are bookmarked for the first time - bookmarking threads used to be, and should remain, completely separate from adding threads to the watch list.

Pascha · 22/05/2019 16:40

Oh god stop it! I'm having to scroll to the top and unwatch every damn thread I read. Whoever thought anyone would want to watch every thread they bookmark?

MrsPlesWearsAFez · 22/05/2019 16:31

As above, I bookmark threads I don't want to watch, and this pop-up can't be dismissed so it's making the process longer and LESS user friendly, not more.

PickAChew · 22/05/2019 16:25

It's not gone.

  1. All the above.
  2. I don't want to Utomatically add threads I bookmark to my watch list.
  3. This is broken, too.

Hi there all,

Thanks for reporting this - we're looking into it now Flowers

daisychicken · 22/05/2019 16:07

I like the bookmark button and change of colour of the last post read BUT I don't want it on a 'watch list' as I only watch those threads I really want to keep up with, I bookmark the end of threads I might click on again.

The notification that doesn't go away is very annoying too!

SillyMoomin · 22/05/2019 16:04

datun

Nope. Still there

Datun · 22/05/2019 15:54

But yes the sudden added to watchlist pop-up notification is irritating and can't be got rid of.

It's gone now.

ElizaPancakes · 22/05/2019 15:53

Yes I like it other than the notification that won’t disappear.

You still have an ‘I’m on’ list.
