How to bookmark topics/postings (was: Is there a way to mark discussions that you like?)

I’ve seen questions about clicking topics and how to get to the end of a discussion. There are a few things to know about topics and navigating to posts.

First, the forum keeps track of where you left off reading for every topic. If you’ve never read a topic then clicking the topic title will take you to the first post. If you scroll and make it to post number 26, then the next time you click that topic, you’ll start on topic 27 (if there are 41 posts then you’ll still be sent to #27 so that you can read 27 thru 41)

I don’t know why the gif isn’t animating but if you click the title, scroll a few posts into the topic, go back, click the title again, you’re exactly where you left off.

You need to be logged in for this to work.

Next, just like the old forums, you can jump to the last post of any topic by clicking on the date in the last (far right) column of each topic. The links are highlighted in yellow below

While you are reading a topic you can also jump to the end or the beginning very easily. A the the top of a post in the title bar there are some navigation controls.

Double arrow up: first post (circled in yellow below)
Double arrow down: last post (circled in orange below)

The single arrows are basically page-up and page-down.

@djensen said in Adding post location to individual posts?:

I know what the issue is. We have too many icons in the nav bar and the logo is too wide. When the window shrinks, it all goes to a new line and messes everything up. :frowning: :grimacing:

But only if you stay in windowed mode. If you stretch it back out and then re-shrink it, the line with the post location drops down (see my last screenshot for how that looks). If you knew how to make the line drop down, without needing to stretch and shrink the screen, you would be golden. Assuming the software let’s you do that…

That’s what we have the dedicated game forums for.
Rules questions, strategy discussions and related topics go there :slightly_smiling_face:

@djensen I know what you mean, and I agree.

@djensen
We additionally have the “Home-button” 0_1542475153872_home.PNG that brings us to www.axisandallies.org - what is fine, IMHO.

Now those two buttons (Logo and Categories-View) actually lead to the forum home:

The Logo-Button is configurable in the settings. So when experimenting with the setting in …

… I did not find anything better than your pre-setting (=forum home) as default.

Maybe it should be just pointed out that every user can individually set his preferred page there (for example a special category):

After logging in this morning it works here, too. So it’s indeed a matter of reloading.

If you guys wouldn’t mind, please move comments to the new thread. I’m not going to close this one because if you want to quote somebody else’s response and paste it into the new threads, I would like you to do that.

@ncscswitch:

If you only want to search by member, use my method then.

yes this works fine.

my reply was to DJensen specifically so that he was aware that his suggestion fell a little short.
