Is there any way to do this on this site? Indeed, one of the most irritating
 thing about this forum and its many other sub-forums is to try to find your way though the threads you've already posted in, but don't necesasarily remember it the next day or the day after... therefore some significant answer to your post can spend of few days/weeks (or never) tobe answered.... In some forums, you can bookmark the threads, thus making it easy it find your interesting topics almost instantly.. This allows you to save time in looking for a thread that was embedded by others or even where that thread was placed (sub-forums)
Forgive me if this feature or option already existson PA, but I simply never was aware of it  ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |
other than receiving e-mails through that "watch topic" feature, which will mean your e-mailbox will be filled or flooded by warnings of often-useless posts arriving on the topic Replies:

Sounds a good suggestion to me. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

| Can't you do that with the bookmark feature on your browser? |

| ^ That's a good solution normally, but from what I know Hugues changes many computers (home + workplaces) so that may not be the best solution for him. |

Click on Favorites (on the upper left side of IE), then on Add To Favorites. |

Yeah it works, but it's adding the bookmark onto your web favorites (it's also Ctrl+Z)>>> I suspected that's what you were getting at...
it's simply not feasible or manageable >>> already too messy as it is already... ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

| In another (non-music) forum I frequent, they do this. When you post in a thread, you are "subscribed" to it, and they give you a link to your subscribed threads for easy re-visit. You can manage your subscriptions there (unsubscribe, etc.). |

If you go to Progressive ears (to stay within the music sites), you'll see that youi can bookmark a thread by putting a check to it, than going to the menu on the left hand side, you click on bookmarked threads and you'll find all of the threads you'll want to keep an eye on... However yiou won't see the bookmark option if you're not subscribed or have joined ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Ultimate Guitar has a system by which each member can have their own individual stickies within each subforum, which I absolutely love (especially since they have a ton of traffic there/threads fall off the first page like crazy). If something like that on PA could be implemented it'd be fantastic. -------------

Having your own personal list of saved threads is fairly common, but I've never seen that before. It sort of defeats the purpose of having a sticky to notify everyone of things, but I can see why they would put it in. Ultimate Guitar and all the other forums I've seen with neat custom modifications use Vbulletin, and I don't know to what extent it would be possible to modify Web Wiz like that. ------------- if you own a sodastream i hate you |

| I would love if this site went vBulletin, I could use Tapatalk on my phone and it would be so much easier to navigate. |
