Favorite threads

[Neal]

Is it possible to create something where we could save our favorite threads? I am always looking through the archives and when I find something that interests me but then get side tracked and have to walk away from the computer it's sometimes a little difficult to find the thread again.

This is a brilliant idea! I find myself doing the same thing. If you don't get everything exactly right, the searches come up with nothing.

Great idea.

 

[Scooter]

I also think this is a great idea!

 

[Jacqui]

I too wish we had something like this. Great suggestion!

I have Windows XP on my computer and I use Firefox as my browser, and there is a button at the top of my screen entitled "bookmarks." When I find something that I want to refer back to (like the birthday graphics, or pictures of Ed's tortoises), I simply "bookmark" it.

I also bookmark things I like or most of you might have something called favorites...with a little heart on top...so you could put it in there.

Ya, I guess I could just use my browser bookmark. I just thought something like that that we could access on our user cp would be a little more convenient. My browser bookmark file is already overloaded, if I started bookmarking my favorite threads it would just add to the clutter.

Neal, go into your browser bookmark, click where it says "Organize" and make yourself a TFO folder. Then when you bookmark TFO threads, you can put them all in that folder.

You can organize your other bookmarks into folders as well, for easier access.

No, I want my CP to have one! j/k thanks!

I use Mozilla Firefox and it has a great feature that you can look up recently closed pages, so if I accidentally close something, I can easily find it again (or look in my browser history). I do like the idea of having TF save threads we've marked though. For some reason I seem to have trouble with the search on the forum such that even if I put in keywords I know were in the thread, I don't find it.

great suggestion and I think it'll be pretty easy to add on. I'll look into it...

I like the idea of MY TFO...a folder that you can store your favorite threads in

 

[Josh]

At the bottom of each thread on the left hand side you will now see "Add thread to Favorites." When you click on that link the thread will be added to your favorites list which you can access here http://tortoiseforum.org/usercp.php?action=favorites!

 

[Tom]

Cool!

 

[DeanS]

Very nice!

 

[Scooter]

Thanks Josh!

 

[Neal]

Thank you!

 

[Tom]

Ha! It works. Josh, you're the best! You just saved me from hours of searching.

 

[Josh]

I aim to please! Keep the suggestions coming!
