I'm looking for some functionality that will help me with this use case:
I'm reading threads with unread messages, and I see something I want to comment on, just not right now. Maybe I want to be sure I read to the end of the thread before writing a reply (wow imagine that) or it's too hard to compose a post on my iPhone, or I don't have the time right now. In any case I want to be able to easily come back to one particular post, or at least one particular thread.
If the TMC forums were a mailing list, and posts were email messages, I'd do something like "Mark as Unread" in my mail client, to make that message stand out so I can find it again easily. I haven't found the equivalent of that for the TMC forum software. Is there any such thing?
I know that messages have permalinks so in theory I could use the bookmark functionality in my Web browser to find my way back to posts I want to revisit but this feels like overkill. Also I don't have a common set of bookmarks across all my Web browsing platforms.
Does anybody else read and write messages this way? How do you handle this?
Thanks for any insights...
Bruce.
