Somebody requested a feature like this recently but I'm afraid I've forgotten who that was.
Basically, this allows a member to create a personal list of "favorite" posts or posts you want to be able to find again for later reading or as a reference.
Now, when you are scanning the forums, you will see a yellow star in the lower right corner of a post:
If it's a post you want to save for later, just click on that star. You will see a brief popup confirming your selection and then a check mark will appear next to the star for that post it indicating that it has been saved in your list:
If you decide you no longer want to save this post, just click the star again. The check mark will disappear and you will get a confirmation that the post has been removed from your list.You can also remove starred posts from your My Starred Posts page (see below).
If it's a thread you want to keep for later, just star the first post in the thread. Or if it's a long thread and it's only one section of the thread you want to save, just star the first post where that section begins.
You will find the Quick Links menu in the navigation bar on any page:
Click on that and then on My Starred Posts in the dropdown menu that opens up:
And that will take you to your personal starred posts page:
Minor bug: I've noticed that if you star a post and then edit it, the check mark will disappear. Don't worry though... you haven't unchecked it. Just refresh the page and you'll see the ch3eck mark reappear where it's supposed to be.
