Breadcrumbs? What does that mean?

It means he's leaving a trail (a la Hansel and Gretel) to find a thread he's interested in. He can now search his own posts for the word 'breadcrumbs' to find threads he wanted to remember.

It means they don’t know how to use the “watch thread” link (at the topmost of every thread) or don’t like using that forum feature and prefer to litter us with breadcrumbs

Not quite, 'watch thread' alerts you every time someone posts there, 'breadcrumbs' means he can ignore comments from day to day but come back to the thread when he's ready.

Yes I know how it works ....but it’s less intrusive way to monitor a thread without reading “breadcrumbs” or “fishsticks” or some other silly personal reminder method. I guess it’s a pet peeve of mine ;)

Wow. Learn something new every day! I never knew that.

 

I always thought it meant something along the lines of "I got nothing" or "this is leading nowhere." I always wondered why people felt compelled to post that sentiment.
