It'd be cool if there was a read later button kind of like how YouTube has the watch later button that then adds the video to a Playlist for you to watch later. 

Often times I see several threads I'd like to read but don't have enough time to do so in the moment. By the time I get back to the forums, I will have most likely forgot and/or the thread has moved so far down the list that I won't run across it again.

Just a thought

I am seeing one bug.  When I revisit a post, it doesn't take me to where I last left off.  It takes me to the last post.

I do bookmark them or open them in new tabs sometimes but it's not as convenient as if it was a part of the site itself. I use to bookmark YouTube videos before I realized they had a watch later button and videos would end up in different bookmark folders and idk probably just poor organizational skills on my part but having a read later button would definitely be beneficial for me!

If you comment, or I believe even just Upvote a post, any additional posts in that topic will show in your notifications.

Also, something like this (from another forum).

IMG 7319

If you go through a multipages thread and you know the thing you are looking for is on page ”15”, just choose 15 or go to closest shown.

Now i have to klick ”next” 14 times… Or of course if its a 20 pager, go to last and klick previous 5 times.

Maybe its only me that have this ”problem”

I suspect you are a young whipper snapper. One of the side benefits of being a more experienced viewer (As in old), I typically forget half of what I had read previously!

 

Problem solved!

I'm most likely older than you! HahaSmile .

My advice is that age is going to take things from us, but I'm not giving it anything for free, nor am I giving it credit for anything.

Going racing next year!  Plan on being faster than last year.  Out this year with an off the bike injury.

It's not a fight.  It's bench racing!  Pull up a chair (and your oxygen tank), and join us!

Tell me you're insecure without telling me you're insecure.

If I may also suggest dark mode, that would be a great enhancement. Can't stand the white background.

It’s not about being insecure dude, it’s just stupid to have one visible and one not. Make them both visible or just take the feature away. It promotes phonyness and a mob mentality. Someone might like a post someone makes and someone might not like a post someone else makes. Who cares, they don’t have to read their post next time. 
Why do we have to have likes on every single post and every single social media platform? I come here to read about moto shit and get away from all that. If someone posts something good then the thread will keep going, what is the point of you having to validate the post Individually? Anyways… rant over.

How about getting rid of the up and down feature?👍
