I use the app.
I use 'watch thread'
It's shit, you still have to trawl for miles to see where you are up to.

BUT
thanks to a darling poster who's name escapes me I've just read:

Swipe left on the last post you read, then when you return to that same thread - it takes you back to exactly that point 
*

  • Used in conjunction with 'watch thread' is going to be life changing. I'm genuinely, unapologetically thrilled Wink

I love the app but this is one of the things I moan about.
If everyone already knew - sorry, and why the fuck hasn't anyone flagged it before for a Luddite like me.

I didn't even know there was an app, I can't find it for Android, is it iPhone only?

FeralBeryl · 28/07/2017 01:50

Ah I think so at the moment anyway Sad but at least when it comes out you'll know eh.. Smile

That was me Grin

I'm on an android. If you go right to the bottom of your page just click for mobile site. You can watch thread easily. Also just bookmark the last bit you read. Three wee dots on right hand side of the post. Press that and lots of options open up

ADayGivingMeHope · 28/07/2017 08:31

Just swipe left and exit the app?
Don't click on anything?
I soooo hope this works 😂

mommy101 · 28/07/2017 08:35

You are amazing!! Haha. Always had the same problem and so annoying, especially on longer threads. Just tried it out and it works like a star!

ClopySow · 28/07/2017 11:35

I'm just bumping this thread.

The "blatant placemarking" and "." posts on any vaguely entertaining thread are starting to get on my tits. 1000 posts and only about 20 of them at most are by the person with all the interesting info.

Seriously, learn how to bookmark.

justpoppingby · 28/07/2017 13:03

Why don't you use the bookmark..

honeysucklejasmine · 28/07/2017 13:07

I don't have a bookmark option.

That's because you're using the mobile site, not the app.

ClopySow · 28/07/2017 20:54

I'm using the mobile site and i can bookmark

PenguinOfDoom · 28/07/2017 20:57

Bookmark. You have to switch it on in settings but it works on mobile and pc. Much better than the aggravating placemarking.

I don't know why it's opt in rather than default, tbh.

NetflixandBill · 28/07/2017 21:43

Bookmark is awesome Grin

FortyFacedFuckers · 28/07/2017 21:50

Yes I have never understood why so many people place make instead of doing this!

PenguinOfDoom · 28/07/2017 22:21

It's the people who just post a . that annoy me.

Nanny0gg · 28/07/2017 23:09

Click on the three little dots then look down.

Bookmark.

SnowiestMountain · 28/07/2017 23:11

Oh yes, watch and bookmark, I don't comment all that often but I am avidly following loads of threads!!

Storminateapot · 28/07/2017 23:16

The 3 little dots don't give bookmark option on kindle fire Sad

Storminateapot · 28/07/2017 23:17

And kindle fire randomly double posts Angry

Storminateapot · 28/07/2017 23:25

Oh wait, had too add it in thread options

ClopySow · 29/07/2017 10:50

I'm bumping again. The whole 5 threads of place marking is just getting silly

GinAndToast · 29/07/2017 11:14

I discovered it yesterday.
I used the app years ago and it was utterly shit, so since then I have just used the mobile version.
This new app (probably not that new???!!) is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
Am watching threads, bookmarking all over the place, and have selected favourite boards as well SmileSmile

ClopySow · 29/07/2017 11:36

I don't think you can get it on android can you? Even so, the mobile site lets you bookmark

ilovesooty · 29/07/2017 11:41

The reason people just post a full stop or rudely announce that they're placemarking is their desire to see the deletion message. It's nothing more than troll hunting and I'd like to see it treated in the same way by MNHQ.
