Ok thanks Beate and Nitram will try that next time

Thanks @nitram for your comments on my original post.

"Unsure if this where to say but the 'watched thread' function seems a bit flaky lately. I have a few marked for alert but not email.

One thing I wondered is whether it doesn't work if you are logged in and/or responding to another thread at the time?

It's still useful to look in the list for the eye symbol but thought worth a mention."

Since original post and comments, just to add that they all seem to work sometimes!

@CeliaW I've also noticed that the "watched thread" alert seems quite hit and miss. I flagged it up to the admin a couple of weeks ago. Sometimes it seems to work fine, other times it doesn't work.

I have now managed to ‘bookmark ‘ some very useful information, but can’t see how to access it on a tablet. My tablet doesn’t show all the information you can see on a computer. Isn’t it possible to access your bookmarks on a tablet?

 

[Beate]

I work almost solely from my iPad and you can access all your bookmarks by clicking on the + sign on the top right hand corner of your screen. (Also by clicking on the book symbol on the top left hand corner but it's easier via the +) You can create folders to sort bookmarks into and it's easy to accidentally file a new bookmark in the wrong folder so if you have any, check them all.

I think @Grey1 is maybe talking about the built in TP booking-marking of posts, on a PC it's on the dropdown context menu when you hover over your avatar on the notification bar.

EDIT
Have a look at 'preferences' in

Thank you. Finding my way around slowly.......

There is a test thread where you can experiment with formatting, inserting/attaching images etc. without invading Members' threads.

Haven’t found out how to make the folders......

Are you talking about clicking 'bookmark' on a post on TP or just bookmarks in general?

I thought someone said you could arrange your bookmarks into files. Maybe not?

 

[Beate]

If we're talking about all bookmarks on your tablet, then that's easily done by clicking on the book symbol top left, then on Edit then on New Folder.

 

[member74974]

I meant the bookmarks in the Forum. I don’t think there’s a way I can do that. Never mind. Thanks for your help.

 

[nitram]

I don’t think there’s a way I can do that.

Agreed forum bookmarks is just an editable list.

You could put the individual links to posts
e.g. https://forum.alzheimers.org.uk/threads/faqs.104329/page-15#post-1551434
into a structured folder system on your tablet.

Thanks.

What's happened to "Recent Posts" as a quick link from Forums? This is what I always click on and it seems to have disappeared as an option. Now I have to click on "New Posts" and click on the link from there.

WHY???

 

[Mark_W]

Thanks for flagging that up @Beate, not sure what's happened there. We'll investigate.

 

[nellbelles]

I wondered what had happened to that!

 

[Cat27]

Me too.
