Bookmarks?

[TexasWarren]

Following, I think. First, Vekseid please take care of yourself.

I was gone a year and came back to Everything is different! Oh My!

What are Alerts? LOL.

[Thesunmaid]

If you want to set it up you can tell the site to send you email and or desk top alerts for any new posts to your threads you post in.

Ok then. Thank you! I saw the alert for your post.

[Amaris]

I believe you can also turn them on in threads you haven't posted in and you can turn them off if you posted in a thread and don't want the alert.

Alerts are great for active threads with more than one person. They are NOT helpful for finding, say, a closed WB thread you want to go back to to edit, but cannot bookmark. Search is more functional now, so you can go looking for the thread title.

It would be very nice to have BMs back at some point, though.

I am desperate to get bookmarks back. I find the level of difficulty trying to manage group games and solos challenging without them.

[Nessy]

Just going to follow this topic so to remind myself bookmarks are expected to come back and I am not silly for not seeing them today. Thank you Veks!

Likewise.  Alerts just don't achieve the same purpose.

Ditto.

Not sure how many this would help but while we are waiting for the bookmarks to come back I have been keeping a list of all the threads I have not been able to book mark again in a folder on my browser labeled Elliquiy. I just started in a group game and while the GM has been wonderful enough to make sure any new threads are listed on the characters intro page I just find it easier to keep them for me personally in my links folder as well because then I can access them with out having to find the intro thread again.

As well as the notify button so I can make sure I don't miss a post. But just a temp work around maybe that could help someone.

While I appreciate the alerts system, any luck on updating bookmarks?

[Carly]

bookmarks = Yay !

I prefer using them over any other tool or feature here.

[Sofia Grace]

I'd love to have both bookmarks and alerts. The alerts are helpful for roleplays but bookmarks are helpful for having somewhere to save my partners O/O threads, etc. 

[FyreFoxx]

I haven't missed bookmarks too much since I started running Ssieth's TamperMonkey Script. The Quick Links options gave me plenty to work with for custom settings and groupings. Could be an option for those willing to run a script in their browser and play around with new settings.

[Existno]

Not sure how effective this workaround would help people, but I might as well share it.

On the top left of the screen when you click on drop down bar with your username, you'll see a bunch of things but take note of the bell icon at the bottom with the word 'Notifications', click on that. It'll redirect you to a page with how you'd like to get alerts, be it emails or just pop ups on site.

The important bit is the 'Watched Topics' button, just above the big 'Notification Preferences' container. Click on that and you'll see all the topics to be alerted on. It's no bookmarks but it gets the job done. You could bookmark that page afterwards and see things faster without doing all those steps every time.

[victoria4]

Thanks Existno, that does work pretty well for now.  And by bookmarking that page I can get to it with one click, not bad.

[snuff doll]

oh that's smart!  thank you!

EDIT: I think the link to that is pretty universal:

[Sara Nilsson]

Thats the best workaround so far really :)

[kasper]

When I try Existno's method, my most recently created 1x1 search thread doesn't appear in my 'watched threads' and I don't know how to make it 'watched' so I get notifications on it. The 'follow topics I create and reply to' is checked but it's not in the list of threads.

I do hope to see the bookmarks feature back. It was a heavily used feature for me.

Veks' comment in this thread may be of assistance.

I'll try that and see if it works, thanks!


Edit: unfortunately this did not seem to work for me but thanks for trying to help anyway.

Does the topic say you are receiving alerts inside the topic itself?

[TexasWarren]

Are bookmarks coming back?

Also a icon for {spoiler} tags would be great.

[River]

I recently came back from a break and was very pleased to see the facelift - it's very sleek and loads way faster.


I hope the alerts work in the same way as bookmarks do.
