It let me make a bookmark on this thread no problem. It just doesn't want to with the spirituality/religion thread. Has that thread been de-idexed or something weird?

from what I've noticed (as detailed earlier in the thread), if you go to a thread that's had a lot of posts over a short space of time, then you can't add a bookmark. Wonder if stet ever got anywhere with it?
― useless chamber, Friday, 10 September 2010 09:51 (thirteen years ago) link
bugger all, sorry. is really hard to reproduce -- even after auto-posting at a huge rate to a new thread I couldn't duplicate it.
― stet, Friday, 10 September 2010 17:40 (thirteen years ago) link
when I logged in this morning all my bookmarks had disappeared. it's not a big deal as I didn't have too many bookmarks anyway but was wondering if there was something wrong on my end or was it just server hiccups?
― dayo, Wednesday, 22 September 2010 01:00 (thirteen years ago) link
All of my bookmarks are gone now too (excepting one that I added today).
One longshot theory I have is that I might have accidentally hit the "Delete All Bookmarks" button, but I doubt it very much.

They don't appear to be working again now, at least not for me.

Try logging out then logging back in; there will be some cache issues going on right now.
― stet, Friday, 24 June 2011 17:12 (twelve years ago) link
Mine have all vanished. Logout didn't bring them back. Is it all over? ;_;

My collection of bookmarks, that's all.

Delete all your bookmarks every few weeks, it's the only way.

I had very few threads bookmarked and nothing that had been posted to in the last year or so, so I'm not sure. But I am having weird issues with the open bullets that indicate new posts. Some threads are showing open bullets and some still show closed bullets, even with new posts.
― frogbs went a-courtin' (WmC), Friday, 24 June 2011 19:08 (twelve years ago) link
the thing with the bullets happens periodically when stet or whomever is tinkering with stuff. i'm kinda curious exactly what is being reset, but am probably too ignorant to fully understand.
― mookieproof, Friday, 24 June 2011 19:25 (twelve years ago) link
The bullet thing is only strange in its inconsistency from thread to thread. No biggie.
― frogbs went a-courtin' (WmC), Friday, 24 June 2011 19:29 (twelve years ago) link
I can still see all your bookmarks in the database. I'll force-empty the caches to reload them from disk and see if that helps.
― stet, Friday, 24 June 2011 21:53 (twelve years ago) link
any joy?
― stet, Friday, 24 June 2011 21:59 (twelve years ago) link
They're still cleared, but I only had 3 so I'm adding them again
― kinder, Friday, 24 June 2011 22:04 (twelve years ago) link
I deleted all mine a couple of hours ago, so I can't say.
― frogbs went a-courtin' (WmC), Friday, 24 June 2011 22:08 (twelve years ago) link

Could I get a bookmark that refers to a since-deleted thread removed? Plz thank you.
― ENERGY FOOD (en i see kay), Friday, 15 July 2011 22:10 (twelve years ago) link
Do they not appear in the bookmarks page? I thought they did.
― stet, Friday, 15 July 2011 22:41 (twelve years ago) link
Oh, never mind, I was not aware that page existed, have only ever removed a bookmark from the thread page.
― ENERGY FOOD (en i see kay), Friday, 15 July 2011 23:04 (twelve years ago) link
This new thing of bouncing to the top of the thread whenever I hit "Bookmark" is really annoying.
― lag∞n affiliated (The Reverend), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 04:04 (twelve years ago) link
Agree, any chance you could change it back? I tend to just click 'site new answers' at the bottom of the page to get back to my list of bookmarks on SNA.

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
― Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 08:42 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― ERIC CANONTA FOR PRESIDETN! (onimo), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 08:47 (twelve years ago) link
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
― stet, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 08:52 (twelve years ago) link
I didn't scroll to get back, I clicked SNA at the bottom left.
― ERIC CANONTA FOR PRESIDETN! (onimo), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 08:55 (twelve years ago) link
you need quite a deep window for that tho. and it's still two clicks
― stet, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 08:56 (twelve years ago) link
and another page load
I'm slowly warming to this new world tbh. I think of these small changes as behaviour control experiments.

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

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?
― The Eyeball Of Hull (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 15:20 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― emil.y, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 15:23 (twelve years ago) link
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.
Describes me perfectly.
― lukas, Thursday, 2 February 2012 01:57 (twelve years ago) link
This actually increases necessary keystrokes for me, cause now I have to press backspace twice to get to the main page.

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?
― Elvis Telecom, Thursday, 5 November 2020 03:50 (three years ago) link
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
― stet, Thursday, 5 November 2020 15:50 (three years ago) link
hello, I’ve been having trouble because I’ve been unable to remove a bookmark from a thread. Is this a known thing?

I've never gotten the hang of bookmarks. They're always up top on my browser saying there's new answers when there aren't. Is there some way to mark those threads read.. other than just opening them?
― maf you one two (maffew12), Friday, 6 November 2020 17:30 (three years ago) link
cuz opening them has no effect, to be clear.forever browsing the full list of answers, overwhelmed :o
― maf you one two (maffew12), Friday, 6 November 2020 17:31 (three years ago) link
you have to click "bookmark" on the most recent post in the thread to update your bookmark and remove it from the list. Making a post to the thread also updates the bookmark to your most recent.
― stet, Friday, 6 November 2020 17:34 (three years ago) link
(you can press the 'b' key on the keyboard to set your bookmark to the most recent post in the thread as well)
thank you!
― maf you one two (maffew12), Friday, 6 November 2020 17:51 (three years ago) link
My problem is that the bookmarks are working too well, on my mobile.
I checked ilx on the whatever-the-hell-the-Samsung-browser-is-called, and like every bookmark of mine was sitting there, active and new on SNA page. Is there a synch issue?
Yes, I have logged out and logged back in. Yes, I have cleared my cache.
― pplains, Thursday, 25 November 2021 03:24 (two years ago) link
This is a long-standing issue, and it seems to be related to Android/Samsung/something interfering with how bookmark updates are made. Have never been able to track it down, but i'll take another look
― stet, Wednesday, 8 December 2021 14:27 (two years ago) link
