Bookmarks not working?

i might make this replace the "classic bookmarking" preference option

I persevered with an open mind but it's slowly driving me bonkers, mainly because I elect to do one thing and the interface does two xp

happy to go with the crowd though

in addition when you're at work and you scroll to the arse end of the thread and click 'bookmark' and suddenly origin of AIDS: "it was one guy screwing a monkey" is across the screen in 24pt

again, just drawing attention to the more salient new side-effects

I just worked out why I don't like it. It's because I click bookmark as I start reading the final post rather than after I finish - so if it's more than a single line post I don't take it in.

i also used to do that, and didn't realise until this change. It's still half-bugging me, but I do like not having to scroll or key to get back to the top

I didn't scroll to get back, I clicked SNA at the bottom left.

you need quite a deep window for that tho. and it's still two clicks

and another page load

I'm slowly warming to this new world tbh. I think of these small changes as behaviour control experiments.

^^^

and i get back to the last page with the backspace key or the back one page button

Can I fifth this motion of dislike?

Please Stet, if you are considering getting rid of it again, at least poll it so we know where most people stand. I applaud this tweek and thing it's a vast improvement

was this polled before?

A little jarring but I see the point and suppose I can get used to it.

i dont think the original bookmarking system was broken. who complained? that's what i wanna know.

point me to the exact post where someone suggested this and I will flag it so fuckin hard.

Yeah, this isn't good.

i will sb whoever suggested this

It was Stet himself!

bring it

like, are you folks clicking bookmark on the last post and then freaking out because you either haven't read it yet (I do this a lot), or because you wanted to click something else at the bottom?

Or are you clicking bookmark in a post in the middle of a thread and being pissed that it loses your place?

both of your examples are 5-year old posting habits for me, stet. btw, my anger about it is fairly lighthearted, if that didnt come though in my posts.

sorry, i mean your first and third examples.

yeah, 1st and third both apply. and it's just jarring on top of that. my ilx experience of the past 24h has been decidedly unwavy.

i don't like this but i'll adjust i'm sure. also i am a self-motivating team player.

this is definitely bugging me a bit, but it's also being more useful at other times (and I know some people really like it). I'm just trying to decide whether this is one of those things we get used to really quickly, or we hate and change back, or we make a preference (and which way around the default is)

One slightly annoying aspect of it is, after you've whizzed back up top, for a brief moment the bookmark you've just reset is still present, so a quick click on another bookmark can, as the other bookmark disappears, lead you to click on the wrong bookmark. God what drivel. I'm sure it'll be fine.

something i've just noticed - "Remove Bookmark from this Thread" doesn't do the bounce, but i feel that would actually be more useful

I like the bookmarking change, but I'd be happy for it to be a preference.

NV otm, it should go for "remove bookmark" to. Take it to the top, Stet!

OK, will try to articulate: days are long gone when I sit and read thread from beginning to end in one sitting and then dutifully consume each update upon arrival to the end of thread. These days have been opening a thread, scrolling down to around where I want to start reading (and then read backwards and forwards), immediately bookmarking that and reading some amount before having to go on to something else. I guess this is nonstandard usage, perhaps deprecated, but I gather I might not be the only one.

As I see from exchange upthread two hours ago.

for chrissakes you guys just because you have been doing something one way doesn't mean you have to do it that way forever.

it's been changed for way less than a day and i've already retrained myself.

no, stet has retrained you

yeah, wake up sheeple

I think once I've got used to not clicking Bookmark until I've read the last post I'll be in favour of this, but maybe it could be set as an option in Preferences to appease both camps?

My problem is that I almost never have more than one bookmarked thread that I want to read at the top of the page. So it is almost never useful to me, and almost always annoying.

Describes me perfectly.

This actually increases necessary keystrokes for me, cause now I have to press backspace twice to get to the main page.

this bookmark thing is really bugging me

New bookmark thing bad. Worst thing since hangnails.

Upon bookmarking, that loading wheel up the top doesn't stop, ever (Terra ON IPAD) (never happened before the change)

not so much whiiiiiiiiinge as I think I found a bug

Thank you!

Ahhhhhhh. Thanks, stet!

I'm running into the issue where board names are appearing multiple times on my bookmarks page - ILE appears five times, ILM five times. I deleted all of my bookmarks and it's still happening.

Is this still a bug?

Yeah, the bug is that the bookmarks are only sorted out into categories when they're loaded from the database - when you edit them by updating/editing, then the list doesn't get resorted until they fall out the cache and need to be restored. I'll take a look

hello, I’ve been having trouble because I’ve been unable to remove a bookmark from a thread. Is this a known thing?
