How do you follow subscribed threads without Tapatalk?

[airborne]

Since my phone died this morning I lost Tapatalk and now I'm stuck with a pos phone(that can't run Tapatalk) for the next few weeks(that's what they estimated) till its fixed(hopefully).

I can click on my subscribed topics link on my profile but unlike Tapatalk clicking on those topic links doesn't jump me automatically to the last post I read, I have to thumbsuck which page I was on, which is neigh impossible to remember.

There must be a better way? :crylaugh:

This is my Mybb bookmark - mybroadband.co.za/vb/subscription.php

I get the usual "you have to be logged in" or whatever but enter details and go to subscribed threads.

Thanks, I mentioned that in my op, clicking on the links in that list doesn't take me to where I've read up to , I either need to know which page I was on or just jump to the last page/reply. Or am I not getting something?

^. oh ja - I've never thought about that. I just go back to subscriptions.

I can see how flamewars start, people post once come back 5hrs later jump straight to the end of the thread, don't read the inter-leading posts and carry as if nothing new has been posted in the meantime, you can see from their replies they haven't read what has been posted since they were last there...

Are there any other ways to follow threads, like a Firefox or Chrome add-on, app etc?
The Tapatalk Windows desktop app is rubbish, last I checked.

I wish the Participated feature was available via the browser.

I usually just click on the last page and read backward from there, back to where I last posted or read.

Yeah, it's a schlepp....

But remember this little button.... It will take you to the last read post in the thread.

Just checked now and Tapatalk has been removed from the Windows store, was totally useless anyway.

But there's an interesting new contender called mTalk, it supports most forums that are compatible with Tapatalk, this is very interesting was hoping something like this would finally crop up:

What exactly does that button do, take you to the last page you were on?
That would be good enough for me

^, yeah, just tried it...takes you to the next post made after your last view of that thread.

Lol, never knew about it before.

Thanks, LL.

Me neither, was hoping there was some thread of intelligent design in Forum software!

Yep, that's exactly what it does.

Thanks LazySimba, awesome tip
