Bookmark feature

It would be really nice to have a bookmark so I could save my place in a story. I find myself avoiding longer stories because I don't have time to read them in one sitting, and it's a pain to scan back to where I left off.

Like SteelR that would be a very helpful feature. I don't rad stories over about 3K words because I have no way to find my place again without scanning the story.

Call it divine intervention or zeitgeist or whathaveyou, but your shirehorse is in the lobby: a bookmark feature went live yesterday.

To access it:

1. Start reading a story.

2. Nudge the scrollbar up a smidge to make the bottom story toolbar appear.

3. Click Bookmark to store your position.

This also works on audio stories. When you revisit the story, it will scroll down to where you bookmarked.

A few caveats:

• If you bookmark the same story twice, a popup tries to appear (presumably to ask if you want to overwrite the bookmark) but it's obscured by the story text. It's been reported and hopefully that's a simple tweak.

• It only works if you're browsing in a regular window. If you're using an incognito/private browser window, it will only remember the position for the duration of your session.

Otherwise, enjoy.

Awesome, just tried it out. I’m going with divine intervention!

It must be stored in a cookie. I guess that's how the mailbox settings are stored as well ('send on enter"). If that is the case, then it's stored locally, that is, it won't be available on a separate device.

Yes. localStorage, so it's a silo for private browsing sessions.

I guess there really is a Santa Claus. Thanks.
