Can I ‘unbookmark’?

43 replies

Itschristmasimallowedwine · 15/12/2019 19:21

When I’m on a thread and close the adverts, I, 9 times out of 10, accidentally press the bookmark button.

I don’t like to bookmark but I can’t unbookmark. Is there anyway to do this?

Me too on mobile safari. So annoying.

Having the same issue on Firefox on mobile as well. Have had for a long time!

Was there a resolution please? Driving me mad (ecosia on iPhone)

Agree it's too easy to click unintentionally while scrolling. I don't think anything I've bookmarked has ever been intentional.

I also can’t remove bookmarks on Safari (mobile).

My problem involves bookmarking.
I can't bookmark on the app, either on an iPad or mobile phone.
I can't bookmark on an iPad using Safari. Bookmark used to work, it's stopped today.

Hi, thanks for all your reports on this. We're still looking into it and will update you as soon as we have more information. Smile

I have the same problem. I accidentally press bookmark and there's no way to undo it that I can tell.

DappledThings · 20/12/2019 21:52

Me too. I'm on Chrome on the mobile site.

Where you have the option to bookmark a comment I would expect that once bookmarked you can bookmark it. So that button would toggle between bookmark and unbookmark

I have this problem too! Also on a mobile on safari. It's quite a nuisance

Hi OP, will pass this on. Just one more question - are you on a mobile using the site?
Thanks

@GloriaMumsnet Picture where your text is blue is not bookmarked. I’ve circled the little button I keep pressing.

Picture where your text is grey is when I’ve fat fingered the button.

When I go back onto the thread it automatically jumps to that post and 9/10 it’s not where I’ve left it just an accident. (And sometimes I like to re-read the OP!)

It’s not a massive issue if it can’t be changed just a pain in my arse Grin

Thanks @Itschristmasimallowedwine for that. When you say your bookmarks, do you mean Threads I'm watching? On this page, you have the option to remove threads - you need to tick the little box beside the thread, and then go to the drop down and select 'remove'.

We'd really like to see a screengrab of what you're seeing when you say you accidentally click the wrong button - this would be really helpful for our tech team to see how it's displaying for you. If you can upload it here, that would be great. Or email it into [email protected]

Let us know if you need more help!

Hi there OP,
Can we ask if you're on our app or browser version of our site? If you're on our app are you using our IoS or Android version?
