Bookmarking and "first page" button

Hi MNHQ, I just wanted to check how this was supposed to work please.

When you bookmark somewhere in a thread, does the "first" button then take you to your bookmark, or to the first page? Or rather, where should it take you to?

I was going to re-read a read from the beginning and kept being sent to the last page (with my bookmark), so thought I'd come and ask!

The thread will aways open where you placed the bookmark but you can then use the "first" button to go back to the beginning if you need to. Or the "previous" button to just go back a page.

That's what I presumed it did. But it didn't — I was on the thread, pressed "first" and it consistently (I checked from a few pages) took me to page 8, where my bookmark was.

Previous/next/last are all fine, but first takes me to page 8 and scrolls to the bookmarked post.

Oh, sorry, sounds like you have a glitch then. Hope @MNHQ can help.

Having just been on a previously bookmarked thread it turns outI have the same glitch!!! Can't get back to the first page of the thread to see any updated comments. Even typing "1" into the page number box doesn't work.

@MNHQ?

That's not intentional. We'll look at fixing it. It's a slightly long story involving a confused old man (me.)

Thank you @tech Grin

I don't dislike the idea of a button that takes you back to your bookmarked post actually, but it would be better if it didn't say "first". Grin

So good to have you back Grin

This should be working again now. Sorry about that. And thank you @JustineMumsnet for your kind words. It's like old times. But I will try keep my wrecking ball from doing too much damage.

Working for me now. Many thanks!
