Is it no longer possible to bookmark a post so you can rejoin a thread to read from where you left off?

I've not been here for a while so maybe it disappeared while I wasn't looking.
Or am I just not seeing it?

How do I get rid of a bookmark that I no longer need?

Apologies if I am asking a daft question.

Book marks are in the 3 dots at the bottom of a post - at least on my phone. I think you get rid of them by clicking it again.

Just tried to get rid of one and it didn't work. Sorry.

No sign of bookmarks here.

To get rid of a bookmark you have to bookmark a later post in the same thread and that cancels the previous one (or used to, at least.)

Thank you.

But then surely I will end up with another unwanted bookmark?

It’s in the Corrie thread, and it’s quite annoying.

I didn’t mean to bookmark it, my finger slipped!

No three dots for me so I just press my finger on the last post I read roughly under the word quote. The word bookmark appears and I press that and it turns to saved. On returning to that thread it automatically scrolls down to the last post I read.

Why does it matter?
Can't you just go to the last page and bookmark the last post.
Or if you don't want to see it at all you can delete the discussion

Calendargirl Sat 04-Jan-25 14:33:07

I’ve done that now Welbeck, so thank you.

Well I never!
I bookmarked your post, Beechnut and here you are 😀

Still nothing for me. sad
I tried on Chrome and Ecosia instead of Firefox - nope.
I changed to desktop site so I could try Beechnut's method. Still nope. 🤷

👍🏻

I also keep my ‘messages on page’ customised to 100. That way I don’t get so many pages.
