Great idea over on pissed on heads.

Pistonheads.com have an automatic place marker!

You read a thread up to post 6, leave, then when you go back to it, just after post 6 is a bar that says "Last Visit"!

I want one!

Please!!

Please!!!

Pleeeeeeeeeeese!!!

Like so, then press bookmark.

[TiggyD]

Wow. I just open the thread and I was whisked down here!

Cool. MNHQ! Advertise this feature more. It's even better than Pissed On Heads' thing.

[u123]

Then it shows a nice little bookmark p n

Then when you come back to the thread it just shows you from where you last read to

Yeah, I've got the bookmark. I just can't make the OPs posts be a different colour.

[Tequilamockinbird]

Omg why did I not know about bookmark

My life is now complete.

Lol.

TiggyD. You've been here for years - I'm sure you've been here for years longer than I have. How did you not know about the bookmark before now?!?!

[TiggyD]

Justine never told me about it. Cow.

I've never read any kind of manual for any forum I've used. You sort of pick it up as you go along. Is there a "How to use the forums" section on here?

[FruSkogKattOla]

That Justine's a one, isn't she?

There's Getting Started www.mumsnet.com/info/talkinstructions and FAQs www.mumsnet.com/info/faqs - but neither says anything specific about bookmarks.

They did make an announcement at one point about bookmarks. I think it would have been on a Site Stuff thread, and I would only have seen it by chance. I vaguely remember quite a lot of 'stuff' was happening then, but that might be my imagination
