[LookMaAStone]

There is a bookmark function, why do people 'place mark'?

[MakingJudySmile]

[MrsLettuce]

Another thanks for mrslettice. Why did no one else say this?!?!

[BrienneAndTormund]

Because I don't use threads I'm watching, I use threads I'm on, so if I want to follow a thread I have to post on it.
I never post . Or 'place mark' on sensitive threads, that's twatty

[luckiestgirl]

Amazing! I just had to click 'Display Bookmark Links' in Customise, and now 'Bookmark' is an option when I press ...

Thanks MrsLettuce

Well why hasn't anybody said this before? Ive seen threads before about people complaining that there is placemarking going on. I thought it was just me who couldnt bookmark it. Well now I can. Thanks

Bookmarking on the mobile site is accessed via the ... at the bottom right of each message, on the iPhone. Various other functions in there too.

Never knew about bookmarking. Anyone know how to do it on an iPhone?

[Arcadia]

On my phone swipe left and you get the option to watch, bookmark or report

[Arcadia]

VERY excited to discover the bookmark function!

[DrHarleenFrancesQuinzel]

I don't know where bookmark is on my phone

I cant figure it out on the laptop

[spanky2]

I don't know where bookmark is on my phone. Sometimes I have nothing to add but want to know what happens eg: the haunted office, with pebbles being thrown and fire door opening!

[DrHarleenFrancesQuinzel]

I never placemark, mainly because Im not that interested and if I see the thread pop up again on active I scroll again.

However if I did want to go back to a specific place in a thread Id have to mark my place (I try not to do it obviously) as its just easier. TIO then look for my colour. I go to TIO first then active. Id probably forget to go to threads watching. (thats if I can figure out how to bookmark in the first place - Ive tried and failed before)

[CrazyDuchess]

YY to what other have said - if you place mark you see the deletion message. If you just watch the thread it just disappears from your list and you have no idea why

[MrsLettuce]

No, TIO doesn't keep up with where you've read to, not at all. It just counts from where you've last posted. Need to post and bookmark to do that

[AcrossThePondRomance]

If you're on a thread, you get a message on your list if it's zapped. It's also a way to know where you've read up to on a long thread.

You. Total. Legends. I never knew about the bookmark!!

[LookMaAStone]

I agree, it's annoying having the 'watch' the thread before bookmarking. One bookmark option would be better. Not sure why they think we would want to bookmark something but then not have anyway to find the thread again!

I can't see a way to do it on the mobile site......a new feature please?

[MrsLettuce]

IMHO place marking is pretty damned rude, I don't do it. I do understand why it's become so common though. Despite being able to bookmark we don't have any way of accessing a list of threads we've bookmarked. Is necisaaty to Watch it as well as bookmarking or just wait for it to crop up in active again. It's a PITA.

So, I bookmark and 'watch' threads I just want to lurk on, which works well until I forget to click 'watch' and lose track of the thread.

Just posting something to placemark is a much simpler solution, thead is straight in TIO and no double action is required.
