If you click on the "new" icon on the thread title it will take you to the first new comment.

This is helpful, I didn't know you could click that.

It doesn't do what you ask though.

If you click on "new", it might take you to the second page if that's what you read up to last. But say the thread has 10 pages - you've now told the system you have read all 10 pages, and next time you click "new", it will take you to that tenth page. Undecided

Right, it's better than nothing because I didn't even know it could do that before, but if you don't read all the new comments every time, it won't work well.

There's no way to do what you want AFAIK. You might want to consider adding it to the new forum software requests. As-is, I just keep the tab open until I'm ready to get back to it, which is probably why my tab bar is always such a mess. Cheesy

I'm a serial tabber, so I think this would make a mess of things even more so than they already are. I was just hoping for a quick way to do it in the forum. It seems the suggestion quoted above might be the best way to do it. That wouldn't help if you don't read all the new comments at once though. Especially for popular threads, I can't always read all the new comments in one sitting, so I was hoping for a way to mark where I left off in instances for times when I can read longer.

You can click on the title or the number of the specific post and bookmark it if you wish.

But there's no function inside the forum to do it, right? Doing it with a browser (externally) is the only method?

Is there a way to mark what the last comment you saw in a thread was so that you can pick up reading from where you left off without hunting through the thread?
