I've noticed that a lot of people particularly on popular "update" threads like parking threads and brass necked person asking for a lift all the time type threads will post with something like "puts kettle on" or even "blatant place marking" so when they go back to the thread they can find "where they were up to last". Presumably this means they can scroll through, see the lavender blush coloured strip and know that is where they are up to.
Fair enough but did you know you can bookmark a thread, which saves you even the hassle of posting and scrolling later?
If you are using "Mumsnet new" (which you can find under the bit that says Mumsnet Talk, and choose Customise (its next to unanswered messages). Once you are using Mumsnet New, all you have to do is go to the last post in a thread, hover your cursor over to the right hand side (sort of near "message poster" "report poster" type area, or just below) and a little "bookmark" prompt will come up and you can click on it.
Then next time you are on the thread, it will boom you straight down to where you left off.
Tis genius...
