Is there just no hope to give me back the bookmark button? (Original post for help was at least a month ago but probably more) I had it for such a short time If it just isn't possible, is there another way that I might "mark" certain posts that contain vital information for future reference? Any ideas?
To save some questions,
I know about the "control" on the lower left, all I get is the 3 lines, click on it and all I get is CONTROL and under that I get REPORT. Nothing more.
Yes, I still have the bookmark choice in my profile but of course since I can't bookmark anything there are none stored.
I am on a newer (touchscreen) laptop running Win10, using Chrome as my browser.
Yes, I have all the latest drivers, software updates, etc.

I know it's not a critical issue and I still love my BYC but only being able to enjoy part of the new features is really disappointing. I would settle for a work around on the bookmark thing if anyone has one.

I'm pretty sure it works in Edge or IE. Can you try a different browser?

ETA - I just tried both, on a Windows 10 tablet and I see the bookmark option

As I mentioned in my post, I do have what you are mentioning, what I do NOT have is the ability to save a bookmark in the first place. The choice does not appear at the bottom of posts for me.
This is all that appears at the bottom left of OTHER PEOPLE'S posts on my screen. No choice for bookmark appears. Don't know how to explain it better, sorry.

I understood what you were meaning.
It bothers me that I am still not able to insert bookmarks, but I know they are "working" on it.

Ok, that's actually a relief, I thought I was the only one.

Can you access the bookmark link manually? If you hover over the Report link that you do have, do you see a post number there?

It wouldn't surprise me the problem might lie with WIN10 version on my laptop screwing with my Chrome. Can't use IE because of 10 and I REALLY REALLY REALLY don't want to have to use Edge, I've tried it, it's horrible!

It's all good. We all see things differently.

I started a thread about bookmarks a while back..
you may want to complain mention these "bookmark" things over there too?

Edge on 10 is better with this version of BYC than it was with the other, but i feel your pain.
Try this (humor me, just to see if it's there). Go to BYC on Edge, then click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner, and see if you have the option to "Open with Internet Explorer". click there, and log in, and see if you can bookmark.
