Celeste , angelinahedgehog Today March 12, 2020, I cannot see the bookmarks link/button at the top of the page. Edit to add: I no longer have the ability to bookmark a thread. Edit again to add: My bookmarks still exist and if I am logged in, and click on following link, I can see them: takeonestepatatime.proboards.com/bookmarksBut I would have to know that link exists (fortunately I remembered it). There is no "bookmark button" to click to find it. And I still cannot make a new bookmark, i.e. I cannot bookmark an unbookmarked thread. More info: If I click on one of the threads I've previously bookmarked, I can see the "book" icon showing that it's bookmarked. But the dropdown menu no longer gives me any option to "remove bookmark" (i.e. no longer allows me to unbookmark a thread)

Which theme are you using, Lion? Apple Blossom. I tried it in 5 other themes and the same thing happened. FYI, when I tried more than 2 or 3 themes in a row, I got an error message that wouldn't let me change to yet another theme. I thought perhaps the next theme i selected was no longer available. But when I exited my profile, and then went back to edit my profile again, it let me choose that theme. So maybe it forbids me changing themes over and over -- unless I take a break of one minute (or unless I exit my profile and then reenter) -- and then I can try another theme. Sometimes it stopped me after I changed the theme 3 times. Sometimes it let me change the theme 5 or 6 times before it stopped me. Fyi the error message says: "Invalid request token / possible request forgery (error 3). If you received this message in error, please go back, refresh, and try again." Perhaps there is an automated process that thinks that someone changing their theme over and over is a "bot" or someone spoofing my identity, so it is programmed to deter that? Update, I persevered to try all the themes .... And the bookmark button is missing in all the themes.

Aha. I fixed it!
I had remembered reading on proboards support that sometimes, if you bookmark a new thread, it makes the invisible bookmark button become visible. And then you can unbookmark that thread if you didn't need it.
But I hadn't been able to bookmark anything to try that method.
Here is where I went wrong ... I was trying to use the gear icon that is next to the quote button, to use that dropdown menu to find "bookmark this thread" or "remove bookmark".
And it wasn't there!
Just now, I finally figured out that those things
are NOT in the gear icon dropdown menu.
Instead, they are in the "Actions" dropdown menu.
Oh my goodness. How did I miss that?
I guess it's been a long time since I bookmarked or unbookmarked anything.
Once I realized this, I went into the action menu, and bookmarked this "bookmarks missing" thread. And immediately the bookmark button reappeared!
Ta da!

Thanks for your help, Celeste! Sorry for bugging you with the non-bug! Now that this is resolved, I've edited the thread title to add that this thread is "closed" (resolved). |
