Taking you back to where you were ....

Have you thought of "bookmarking" where you are? It works for me.

Bookmark facility is in the three dots at the end of a post

I don’t have three dots at the end of a post ??

why don't you just bookmark the post you last read ?
i don't see 3 dots.
i just hover at the end of the last post and click when the word bookmark appears.
then it says, saved.
simples !

I've done all that, but I've no idea how to get back to the bookmarked place.

When you click on the title of the thread, it should open at the bookmarked post.

yes, when i see a title in the active list, on the rare occasions it's not filled up with games threads, and it's one i've already started reading, i click on the title and it wizzes me to the last post which i had bookmarked earlier.
if yours doesn't, OP, maybe there is something wrong.

Shouldn’t be so hard,though. If they can do it for mumsnet they can do it here.

No dots
and if I hover at the end it just highlights the last word and doesn’t give me a choice to bookmark !!!!!

You're on desktop site? I changed to it just now, to see, and when I hovered at the end of the post it did highlight a word but also came up with a 'bookmark' option.
Tap that and the post is saved.

Mumsnet has a lot of things we never get.

I hate this emoji, but, needs must… 🤣

OK - this is a test!

Bingo - thanks for the info!

Mumsnet generates a lot of traffic, ergo, advertisers spend money there.

I don't get the 3 dots but can bookmark the previous person's post.

I don't think we are short of ads!!

When you click on the title of the thread, it should open at the bookmarked post.

This requires you to remember which thread you were reading. If you've contributed, you can go to "I'm on" but if you haven't clicked on "watching" and you haven't written anything in that thread, you have to remember what the thread was called. That's not what computers are for. As I have previously said, I am on a forum which has been going since 1999 and which has all those features. It's hardly coding magic.

so why not click on i'm watching to keep track of ones you've read but not contributed to.
seems to work for most of us.

On Mumsnet you do not have to do anything at all. If you make a post on a thread then when you reopen that thread it takes you straight back there.

Oh, it worked! And I hadn't even posted on this thread, just bookmarked *Luckygirl' s test post.

Thank you FarNorth 🙂

Every day's a schoolday .....
