Feet-Sure request: 'Post Read' marker or counter
-
Basically, something to give Tsauk and Swampy a way to see which posts they read without them resorting to upvoting everything they read. This isn't just for them, of course - aisde from the fact that they are probably not the only ones abusing the ratings that way, it is simply a useful feature.
While the ideal would be for it to be automatic, I don't know if that would be feasible. If it is, I would recommend a counter rather than simple flag, as that would give members a way to see which posts they are re-reading the most.
And if that were to show up when hovering over a link, all the better, though I expect that this would be a bridge too far. I'm willing to leave the pipe-dreams at the door if it is.
Otherwise, just giving a button the member could frob should do the trick, as that's basically what the ones I've mentioned are already doing.
Note that it probably should only track actual views, and ignore bulk 'marked as read' operations.

@scholrlea It's not great, but as a sort of workaround, remove everything from the URL that comes after the title and you'll get the "Navigate to your last read" (or whatever) toaster.

@boomzilla Pressing Home works as well.

Which is still dodgy as hell.

Ah, so it does!

...sometimes. Other times it doesn't. Not sure what the difference is.

Doesn't that just take you to the first post in the topic? That's what it's always done for me.

Yes, but then you get the toaster (for sufficiently long topics).

This doesn't work if you enter in at a later point than you left (e.g., you click a notification about someone replying to you, a hundred posts down from where you were).

Yeah, kinda sucks that the bookmark is instantly updated in that case...
