I'll be happy to help you out. Below is something I wrote for someone else. Give that a try and see if it helps. If not, please PM me and I'll hold your hand!
Hi...the new bookmarking is very different, isn't it? Maybe this will help:
In the new setup, a Bookmark is a type of Subscription. On each Thread, just above the first post, there is a cream-colored bar. On that bar, toward the right, there are several "buttons." One is Thread Tools. Click on it and the third choice on the list is Subscribe to this Thread.
Click on Subscribe to this Thread and then you'll see another screen with two choices....the first asks how you want to be notified of new posts to that Thread. By clicking on that box, you can choose to be notified by email or through the Board (which is what I choose.)
The second choice is the important one...there is a box that lets you choose between a Subscription or a Bookmark. Click on that box then choose Bookmark. Then, be sure to click on the blue box that says Add Subscription. If you don’t click the blue box, your choice won’t “stick.”
When you want to look at your Bookmarks, click on Settings at the very top of the screen (on the dark-colored bar). Your Settings page will come up and over on the left there are several topics. One is My Subscriptions and your Bookmarks are there.
