Not a bug, but a feature.
Is there a way to move to my own latest post in a thread?
A lot of times I want to start reading where I left off but there is no easy way to go back to my last post.

When you click on a topic title you have already read, it will take you to where you left off.

Ever since I join here I have tried to get my gravitar set up, and functional.
That said I have created one, and it is active on Gravitar, and the word-press side. But it doesn't render here on ML.
Tonight I deleted my Profile back ground picture.
It was my understanding that the little circle with my first initial will populate with my Gravitar.
I will leave it for a while and see if it ever updates.
Just letting you know I haven't figured it out yet.

Site doesn't use Gravatar, hasn't for a while. In your profile, you just upload an Avatar. There is a simple upload option. Gravatar was removed because of security problems.

Normally I come back to threads via the status icon, not through the category listings. I'll get a notification about a watched thread "so and so posted" and this takes me to the bottom of the thread.
What I'm hoping for is a small link or button that specifically takes me to my own last post within the thread. This is even more handy as a thread gets longer and longer. This has to be inside the thread itself, not from the outside, home page or category pages etc.

Ok gotcha, I saw something about a security issue. I didn't know the resolution was to remjve it. Sorry aout that.
To get an avatar to populate instead of my first initial how do I add that. I have looked everywhere I can find. So far I haven't located it. I had my picture in the profile, but that was it.

@prcssupport In 'Edit Profile', use the left side menu to upload a picture. (Just did this around 30 minutes into Tuesday morning... I need more sleep!)

No forum I have ever used has had that functionality.

Not a bad idea, though.

If you go through the unread page to your threads it will bring you to the post that you read last. Very handy.

I'd like to suggest a feature / report a bug. Insufficient Single Malt (ISM error).
Upvotes are cool and all but they should really count towards alcohol. If you somehow make that happen you will have the biggest community of IT on the whole internet.

Every legitimate upvote you get counts at 0.1mL of Single Malt. A true way to gamify the system.

0.1ml/vote means you and I have each earned about half a bottle of single malt (we are some of the highest upvoted ppl here)

Only redeemable in 1 bottle increments.

Lol, well by all means, we should not innovate, try new things, or do anything outside the status quo. We must only do what other forums do, lest we accidentally develop a unique feature.

Not very handy depending on how old the thread is, having to scan through the list trying to remember which threads I wanted to read and may have unwatched to reduce emails, etc etc.
Typically the notifications say "so and so posted" and that link takes me to the bottom of the thread. Assuming nobody specifically replied to my last post (or I'd get notification for that), then I want to return to my last post, because that is naturally where I left off.
If it is a super active thread, or perhaps a non-active thread, it might not be right there at the top of the unread page. Or heck I might not even remember I was reading it if I'm bouncing around 20 threads. -
Getting this fairly often in mobile lately.
Usually happens when I hit the hamburger menu and tap unread.
If I hit refresh, it reloads the thread I was in and I have to nav to unread again.
