with "bookmark" written on it. At the end of each post. I think it is going to finally push me over the edge.

I don't think it's always been there.

And has the banner got more colourful? Has the older woman now got an orange head? confused

Not on my screen jings you must be getting special treatment grin there is a slight "ginger" cast to the women's head now you mention it.

The woman's head looks like the red paint from the flag has run.

Quite a pretty shade of turquoise to the younger one's jumper. Almost twitter blue. New colours being introduced to the Gransnet screen. Very cheering. Has Tech been having classes? smile

Yes I see it, and now I have saved something apparently, that I had no intention of saving - hadn't even read it! PLEASE TAKE IT AWAY GN!

I've had that for a long time Jings. Not sure what it does as I haven't clicked on it to find out grin. I was wondering about the rather nauseous green of their faces and I've only just realised that the older one is holding a baby - I'm not very observant! They look like a couple of girl guides with their banner - or suffragettes - or Russians circa 1919...........

Just saved your post jings. But where - and why?

margaretm74 Fri 14-Feb-14 10:02:40

They are from Les Mis think

margaretm74 Fri 14-Feb-14 10:03:05

I think

It's a bookmark! See thread entitled "Bookmarks".
They are very very useful and stop the need to keep reading posts that you've already seen.

margaretm74 Fri 14-Feb-14 10:19:35

But it says 'saved' - where is it saved?

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 14-Feb-14 10:20:27

Oh God! You've only got to touch this kindle fire screen and something is saved! I think the blue thing only shows up on pc's (which I was on earlier) But it's still there. Just hidden.

Gally it's the younger woman holding the baby - the mum! The one with the flag is the Gran.

Lona Fri 14-Feb-14 10:23:08

It's saved until you go back on that thread, and it then takes you straight to where you finished reading, just like a bookmark smile

Thanks Lona for explaining the bookmark - hope that make sense to everyone and you find it useful?

Re the logo, we've tweaked it in support of gay rights during the Winter Olympics. You might have noticed a few organisations doing the same. We'll be back to our usual purpley pink once it's over. We haven't made any other changes to the logo, promise!

I love the bookmark. leave it alone!! grin

whitewave Fri 14-Feb-14 10:35:44

somethings gone wrong with the page - there is a lot of gobbledegook at the bottom?!

margaretm74 Fri 14-Feb-14 10:37:20

Now I know how it works, it sounds very useful, but have not seen it before today

Still think they are extras from Les Mis

It shows up when you hover the cursor over the bottom right corner of a post (I have just discovered that) If it has bookmarked the place, it will be saved with the bookmarks/favourites on your browser.

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 14-Feb-14 10:42:44

Oh!!! That is amazing! About the banner and gay rights! Very good! smile

A bit like the rainbow scarf I accidentally bought for grandson. (I had to quickly Oxfam it once Dd explained)

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 14-Feb-14 10:44:31

A rainbow Gransnet banner!!! smilesmilesmile

I have gone all warm and fuzzy. smile

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 14-Feb-14 10:46:29

(Would add, grandson is only 12)

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 14-Feb-14 11:12:32

Sigh! Someone spotted it on Mumsnet. #cleversticks

Galen Fri 14-Feb-14 11:19:32

I thought my eyes had gone funny when I noticed it a few days ago!
PLEASE don't do that sort of thing to our geriatric eyes without warning us!smile
Btw, where's our news letter? Or are you too busy chomping on the valentine chocs and champagne given to you by your countless admirers?

Lona Fri 14-Feb-14 11:26:19

BTW the bookmarks are only there when you're logged in [smartarse]

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 14-Feb-14 11:35:26

Yeah. Quite. grin

Ana Fri 14-Feb-14 11:48:27

And strangely enough, it still works even if you haven't opted for bookmark links! confused
