People who add a dot or f

Why can't people just 'watch' or on facebook 'turn on notifications'. Interested in a thread and you see some activity only to discover somebody has just added a dot or a f.

I think it's really cheeky to write 'marking my place' and not say anything. I mean you could just have an OP and everyone else marking their place. Which would be a bit boring to say the least.

What does f mean???

TeddyIsaHe · 20/01/2018 18:20

The watch this thread button is very awkward to get to on my mobile screen. So I comment to tag.

Facebook, no clue never been on it.

MummytoCSJH · 20/01/2018 18:34

I add things to my watching on the app and they always go missing for some reason :/

SusanBunch · 20/01/2018 18:35

Agree, what is the point of placemarking when there is a 'watch this thread' function and a 'save your place' one?

Aridane · 20/01/2018 18:36

Do,you,get the deletion thread using the ‘watch’ function?

bridgetreilly · 20/01/2018 18:37

I have never seen this. I must only have good FB friends. ;)

UrsulaPandress · 20/01/2018 18:37

Offenders should be shot.

ShotsFired · 20/01/2018 18:39

There is also that weird comment about wanting deletion messages (on MN I mean)?

They are never really that interesting and you can see them anyway if you just click on a topic that's been removed. Do they go to thread commenters directly via email or something (I have never had any, but maybe it is a setting)

MimpiDreams · 20/01/2018 18:40

There is no 'save your place' or bookmark function on my phone. If you click on 'bookmark' it says 'feature coming soon'. There isn't a 'watch thread' at all. I'd never '.' place mark though as it's bloody rude, particularly on threads where someone is suffering.

I can’t find a bookmark option anywhere! I’m on the mobile site, is that why?

ShotsFired · 20/01/2018 18:46

I swipe left on my app. Either on the thread heading to watch the whole thing; or on an individual post to bookmark from there. Next time I go into the thread it takes me to that post.

SlummyMummy77 · 20/01/2018 18:47

I'm a moron. Couldn't remember full stop.

This thread has completely baffled me, I feel like a dinosaur. I am on FB but I haven't got a clue about dots and F's.

Katedotness1963 · 20/01/2018 19:37

FB? Isn't the op talking about posts on this site?

SoulStew · 20/01/2018 20:36

I have the app! Why have I waited this long!? Grin

thegreylady · 20/01/2018 20:37

Why f?

AmaraSas · 20/01/2018 20:37

Not all of us are on fb and use mn directly. I havent yet found a way of placemarking a post i want to follow without adding a contribution. So . Or f does just that.

Thinks theres far more important things in the world to worry about.
