How do I find my bookmarked posts?

And also how do I remove a bookmark if I’ve hit the bookmark button by accident?

You can't specifically find posts that you have bookmarked, it just means that when you re-open a particular thread it will take you to the last post that you read.

I am not sure that there is a way to turn off a bookmark - although you can read the new posts and then bookmark the latest one.

If you want to have a handy list of things you want to follow up on then you can use "watch this thread". When you select the "I'm watching" button it will bring up a list of the threads that you have marked as watching. I don't think they stay on the list forever though?

It's much easier than pointlessly filling up a thread with comments that says nothing other than "placemarking".

Ok thanks. It seems like a totally pointless function then.

Why do you think it is pointless?

It means that you can go back to a thread later in the day and be taken to the exact place that you stopped reading instead of scrolling through several pages to find your place.

It also means that when you bring up the list of threads that you are watching, you can see at a glance whether there have been any further posts since you bookmarked.

You need to “watch” the thread you have bookmarked. Then when you click on the thread title, it zooms down to your bookmarked post. Not pointless.

I don’t think you can un-bookmark a post though. Bookmarking another post on the thread supersedes the previous, obviously.

Anything else we can help with OP?

You can unbooark on the app by just using the same icon you use to bookmark.
