. If I want to bookmark the thread on my IPad I don't need to save the comments.[
While trying not to divulge the level of my complete ignorance related to all things "I-p", when you bookmark something, you're just saving a link. You're not actually saving the comments. And, really, some of the best information can sometimes be found buried pages in to the thread.

MTS, when you go into your link and open it, I like how it changes color. Does it Chang to another color if you reply? Just wondering how you know you commented on a thread so you can follow it? Thanks!
If I click on SETTINGS up on the top of the screen, it will list all the threads I've commented on or subscribed to that have received another post. If nobody else commented after me, I don't need to see a list of it as there isn't anything new to follow.

If, however, for some reason, I do want to look at an earlier thread I commented on that has no recent updates, I would click on SETTINGS, and then on the left side, click on SUBSCRIPTIONS.
That would give me the entire list of threads, provided I'm still subscribed to it.
I might have signed up for a thread for some information, but not commented. If I choose to unsubscribe at a later date, that thread would no longer ever show up on my list.

Also, when you read a thread with multiple comments like this one, there are manyways to enter it:

1- Click on the thread title. We all knew that.

2- Next to the date/time of the last post, there's a little blue box with 2 arrows in it. That will take you to the LAST post of the thread, so need to go in the front door and page and scroll to get to it.

3-If you click on the thread title, which takes you to the first page, on the light tan bar under the thread title, is an option to click on "View First Unread." That's specific to YOU, and will take you to the YOUR first unread.

It would be much more useful if that option 3 where on the Thread listing page, so you can get right to the lastest unread thread, but you can't have everything.
I actually thought I saw it here once, but it must have been another board.

Hope that helps.
