Question Using threadmarks in PMs

[A.Storey]

I don't quite fully understand how to properly use threadmarks and all, but I was told by someone very helpful that it would be a good option to build an index, as a alternative to being able search through PMs.

In PMs, when I create one... what does this mean - I can't tell difference between what happens when I tick the box vs do not tick it.

Backdate threadmark creation and assign ownership to the OP.

I did a search for 'backdate' - not much came up...

So when you create a threadmark of a message in PM's it's basically a sticky note so you can easily find that message again in the future. In a PM conversation that has threadmarks, you should be able to see a small dropdown box in the upper right that says "Threadmarks". It's to the left of the Conversation Info.

When you select that Threadmarks drop down it should reveal every threadmark in the current conversation and allow you to click on to jump directly to it. So, for example, if you made a character sheet of sorts and threadmarked it then you could jump to that threadmark to go back and reference that message at any point.

I'll be frank, it can be very useful but functionality is also limited as I'm fairly certain only the person who created the conversation can make threadmarks in it. I've not found much benefit for it personally, though I'm sure other people like it much more.
