Bookmark being ignored on watched threads

5 replies

In the last few days, when I click on a thread in my Watching list I get taken to the latest posts, even though I have bookmarked further up. For threads I am watching, I generally bookmark the original posters last post, as I am often only interested in updates from them. Can you fix this, please?

I am using Chrome on Android.

Hi @TheSmallAssassin - we're sorry to hear you're having problems with the bookmark function. You've said you're using Chrome/Android - is this the mobile site or the app?

Hello again @TheSmallAssassin

KatyMumsnet had this to say on another thread about watched threads, which might explain things a bit. Hope it helps.

Clicking through to the last read post is the expected behaviour on these lists as the purpose is to show you the updates since you last saw the thread. If bookmarks took priority then it might be confusing for many users who have added an older bookmark but are expecting to click through to read the latest updates.
A few users have reported that they do want to click through to bookmarks so we will discuss it - we are discussing a new feature that will let you save your bookmarks to a list so you can find them again - this might be a better solution if that's what you're trying to do!

Thanks for your detailed feedback it is really helpful.

We made the decision to take people to the next unread post when clicking on watched threads based on a lot of feedback from users who were requesting exactly this.

We are taking this feedback on board though and we're discussing what to do - now that we are taking users to the next unread post (which wasn't happening previously) honouring bookmarks isn't as straightforward as it sounds so we need to plan it out and consider all the implications.

Thanks to everyone who's posted on this thread and explained their issues with the bookmarking feature. We're taking all of your feedback on board and working out the best way forward.

We really appreciate your patience and we hope to have more news for you next week.
