nauticant · 16/08/2013 13:26

Why do posters mark their place? Isn't it easier to use the bookmarking function and stick the thread in the list of watched threads?

I realise I might be asking a question that's been done to death over many threads and vast numbers of posts.

Thumbwitch · 16/08/2013 13:30

I don't have the bookmarking function because I am an old gimmer still using MN CLassic and it's not available. Plus I default to Threads I'm On so it's easier to see what's going on if I placemark on a thread. :)

aladdinsane · 16/08/2013 13:34

how do you bookmark? help please

mindyourownbusiness · 16/08/2013 13:35

Me too - old gimmer. Thank Crunchie it's Friday. I made it and didn't self destruct from excitement. Grin

Come on Tidy - urry up !!!!!!

Sorry.

nauticant · 16/08/2013 13:47

aladdinsane: "how do you bookmark?"

On any Talk page, the "Customise" link takes you to the Preferences page on which you'll find "Other options". In the list presented under "Other options", there's "Display bookmark links" for which you select "Yes". Once that's activated, then on any thread, if you take your mouse cursor over to the right-hand side of a post, a clickable "Bookmark" button is displayed. If you click this, then if you leave the thread and return to it, you'll go automatically to your bookmarked post.

You can bookmark many threads, not just one.

I'd imagine on a mobile device, phone, tablet, etc, this is a bit hit and miss depending on the device.

ArrowofApollo · 16/08/2013 13:51

Great summaries! Also shamelessly placemarking. Can't wait until tonight - you must update as soon as you get home Grin

nauticant · 16/08/2013 13:52

Ahh Thumbwitch, I see now. Cheers. I use Mumsnet New which does allow bookmarking.

nipersvest · 16/08/2013 13:53

i am now hooked on the next update! would also love to know what happened to spidercharlotte and her thread from a couple of weeks ago about being 'wendy'd' and receiving a text not meant for her, was all rather sad so i worry about her.

DameDeepRedBetty · 16/08/2013 13:55

To save your place, hover the cursor over the bottom right of the post you've read up to. A little blue box saying 'bookmark' appears. If you click on it, it will change and say 'saved!' instead. Next time you visit that thread, you will automatically go to the post you saved.

Placemarking is when you write something on a thread just to be on there, rather than a considered thoughtful comment. The thread will automatically go there when you next visit, but it also has the benefit of moving the thread into Threads I'm On.

I use placemarking a lot as I reserve Threads I'm Watching for saving threads for a rainy day. There are about 25 in there, with handy advice on things like feeding my veggie dd2, travel advice for a couple of foreign destinations I want to visit in the next couple of years, and a really good thread about helping dds when they start their periods, which I saved four years ago and finally needed just after Christmas this year.

DameDeepRedBetty · 16/08/2013 13:56

x posted nauticant.

Took HOURS to write that lot out.

Part 4 !
Great summary of events so far - will be here tonight .Have we got snacks Wine ready ? Grin

RustyBear · 16/08/2013 14:02

Bookmarking on the iPad is a bit different - you have to touch the post, but it will sometimes randomly try to copy the whole post, or just highlight one word - I think it depends on exactly how many milliseconds you touch for. So it's easier for me to post as my bookmarks bar link is to Threads I'm On, so I will normally go there first .

HorryIsUpduffed · 16/08/2013 14:13

Huh, is Cake working again?

There must be a Cake issue with Gluezilla. I simply can't believe she's ordered one and paid for it.
