“Place marking” isn’t necessary!

Does everyone know there is an option to “watch” a thread?
It’s really quite tedious scrolling through pages of non-comments from people who are interested but don’t have anything to say.
Not to mention if it is a popular or long-running thread, which goes over the post limit, subsequent threads get filled up ever more quickly with the constant “place marking”.
Just select “watch this thread”!

PMK for the bunfight.

HoomanMoomin · 24/04/2020 23:33

Ooh, shameless place mark.

Also that people CAN change their vote so "Sorry, gosh, I voted wrong." is simply unnecessary

Davros · 24/04/2020 23:35

And to bookmark at a post so you know where you got to

Kitchendoctor · 24/04/2020 23:36

@Davros I have only just realised that function too, accidentally found out about that one.

ThrowingGoodAfterBad · 24/04/2020 23:41

Well, maybe it was a hope. I'm on here for entertainment. I quite like a nice bunfight of an evening. Smile

What about Hubby or Hubster Wink

Kitchendoctor · 24/04/2020 23:44

Maybe Mumsnet should change “watch this thread” to “place Mark” or “lurk”, then everyone will know what it’s for 🤷🏻‍♀️

SquirtleSquad · 24/04/2020 23:46

Knew about the watching but not the bookmarking. I knew you could bookmark on the website but not the app

Girlinterruption2020 · 25/04/2020 00:09

Girlinterruption2020 · 25/04/2020 00:09
