Earlier today I had trouble threadsucking the first LotR thread. I thought the problem was with my server at work.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Is the Mark function working differently now? I'm (happily) noticing that when I hit it, it brings me back to the post I just marked, placing it at the top of the page I was reading. I seem to recall that this didn't happen before, because I think I remember having to search back through the thread to find my place (which I guess is silly, because I could've just clicked on the bookmarked post to get back, but really not the point here). I think I even remember exchanges (when the user filter was being tested) about how nice it would be if Mark worked like Edit.
And now it does. So, yay. And thanks.
Note: Apologies if the change has already been noted and I just missed it. Or if I'm just imagining things and nothing is different.

It's working the same for me. It reloads the page I'm visiting and I still need to scroll down to pick up from where I left off.

Really? Wow. Nope, for me it's definitely now marking and shifting on reload so that the marked post is at the top of the page. Which I love. And hope I have not jinxed.

Art Crawl!!!
It was doing that for me, but I marked something today and it didn't do that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No mark code has been changed. But it was noted during the testin (not yet complete, oops) of the block code that it's browser dependent (at the very least) wrt where you end up post-mark.

What is even happening?
(As a work around, I click on the post number (which makes the post I'm going to mark, the first post on my page) and then I mark the post.)

Ah. Thanks. I started to wonder if that might be it. Not that I've changed browsers, but something must be different. Anyway. Mystery solved.

Connie that's not something I can troubleshoot from a Blackberry, so it's going to have to wait until I have both a real computer and time.
Have you tried sucking smaller chunks in the meanwhile?
