Long time passing . . .

Hm, I'm deviating.
No is this just temporarily or are they definitely gone?

Resolved: identified the changed bookmarking controls and confirmed the problem was fixed.

Practical context — a post-level bookmark is most suitable for saving a single helpful reply or a short code snippet because it links directly to that exact message inside a thread. A thread-level watch/pin is better when the entire conversation needs tracking: it keeps the thread on a personal watchlist and typically surfaces updates or notifications about new replies.

Troubleshooting notes if bookmarks still seem to have “gone”: bookmarks are tied to the logged-in account, so signing in under a different username or browsing as a guest will make saved items invisible. Bookmarks can disappear if the target post or thread was moved or deleted. Local issues such as cached pages, browser extensions (adblockers, script blockers) or a misbehaving browser profile can hide controls or prevent the site from showing saved items. Useful checks include signing out and back in, trying another browser or an incognito window, clearing the browser cache, and verifying the same account is used across devices. If many bookmarks vanished after a site redesign, staff or moderators can confirm whether a migration affected saved items.

Best practices going forward: keep a permalink and a short excerpt for any critical code or instructions in a personal notes app or a dedicated browser-bookmarks folder — that preserves the content if the original thread is later removed. For tracking ongoing discussions, rely on the thread-watch feature; for single helpful answers, use post bookmarks and save an external copy when long-term access is important.

Bookmarks?

Member Avatar for ddanbe

Well, where you clicked that extra icon near the flag bad post icon, to mark that thread.

Member Avatar for Dani

Oh, so instead now you click the bookmark icon at the top left of the post.

You can retrieve all your bookmarks from the top Finder menu --> Posts I've Bookmarked.

OK, so I'm not quite sure which you're referring to, but you have two options:

Click the bookmark icon to the left of a post to bookmark that individual post.
Click the pushpin icon to the left of the first post in a thread to pin the entire thread to your bulletin board for watching :)

Either way, you can get to your list of bookmarked posts or watched articles from the new Finder menu.

OK I see, well: solved then. :)
Took just about 20 secs to find the solved button on top of this thread! :)
