Admin question: bookmarks

[Proud to be erratic]

In a posting I made in Sep 22 part of my questions were admirably answered, thank you @everydayupsanddowns and @Inka

https://forum.diabetes.org.uk/boards/search/164231/?q=bookmarks&o=date

But I can't sort out how to get the benefit of bookmarks. I mark an interesting post with the bookmark symbol, annotate that with appropriate descriptors and then it seems to disappear into my android phone, using Firefox browser, never to see the screen again. Help please?

Just tried it with your post. Click/tap on your username at top right & a Bookmarks tab should appear. On mobile you may see your avatar rather than full username.

Thank you @RBZ5416, its so obvious I couldn't see for looking! I was searching within the left hand 'Your Account' menu oblivious to the right hand option.

The word scotoma is used today in medical parlance to mean a blind spot, within our visual field. The word originates from an ancient Greek word, skotos, which meant darkness. I recall being told once, in a professional development lecture, that one of the ancient philosophers sarcastically wrote a play about a politician's skotos in the sense of seeing what that politician wanted to see - rather than what was in front of him. The lecturer went on to cleverly illustrate this ability to unintentionally mislead yourself (as a manager) with several examples that the audience participated in: by either seeing what we were anticipating, rather than what was actually there OR by seeing the detail but not the context. No illusions, just everyday examples. It was a memorable talk. I clearly had a 'scotoma' when looking at that menu bar.

Thanks @RBZ5416

I confess it’s not a forum function I use, so I’m glad you were able to offer the solution. 🙂
