Where to find a Bookmarked post?

Hi!

I bookmarked a reply to a post yesterday, but now I can't find the post to continue reading the thread.

How do you find bookmarked replies?

Did you also click on the 'watch thread' button? - then you'll get notifications of new posts on the thread (see pic with circled bit). You can then click on that thread from the point where you've bookmarked

No, I didn't click the watch thread, for the precise reason as I don't actually want notifications every time a new post is added. I probably should have clicked the save icon, as it looks like there is a way to view all saved posts.

Hi there @ReadTheFreakingThread. Yes, bookmarking just means that when you return to that thread it will take you straight to the post you bookmarked. But you'll need to 'watch' or save the thread in order to find the thread itself again quickly. You've probably already worked that out by now but shout if we can help in any other way.

I watch loads of threads and I don't get notifications every time a new post is added.

When I click on "I'm watching" I can see whether any new posts have been added (there is a little number counter to the right of the title) but I definitely don't get a notification. I do get an email if I am tagged or quoted though.

Maybe it's something you can change in settings?

I have my settings so that I only get notifications here on MN as shown by @ilovemyspace then I check or ignore them

Thank you @TerrysChocolateBorangejuice I do wonder if it is something in my settings I can update. Appreciate the assist!
