How many threads do y'all have "Bookmarked" . . . ?

ZoidMeister

Or perhaps the better question is, "What is the best way to keep threads you've participated in or want to follow, visible when new content is added?"

I'm at 130+ threads bookmarked. Looking for smarter options.

Thanks in advance.

The bigger question here is......"Who's tired of seeing 10 year old resurrected threads ?"

So, where do you go to find the most current responses to what you've posted?

What is your "go to" page?

I've never looked at that. Are those only ones that you've started or do they include all threads you've participated in?

If you click on your username in the toolbar it should bring up your account activity. Right above the badges are all the threads you commented in. It says COMMENT. I would rather have my avatar show up next to threads I posted in. I have one thread bookmarked, because, I didn't comment in the thread.

Most of the time the threads I’m interested in keeping up with will bump to the top and I’ll check there. So the forum main listing is 99% what I use. On a rare occasion if I’m wanting to see something I commented on but it isn’t there I’ll go to my profile and look at my comment listing.

I'm actually a fan of resurrected threads as many of them have good conversations and it's good to build on that.

The most interesting ones are the ones that I think are new, I start reading it and formulating a response before seeing my old response from years ago!

well said!

btw, your threads represented .025% of my bookmarked threads and really, they could have easily been .05% if i wanted to be more active.

23 for me...

LanceNewmanOCC

back to over 102 for me. some get added as i wait for gtg , sub results, other inquires so it is a living system for me and 90 is pretty much the least i can live with.

HOWEVER

i FINALLY found the method (actually very quick and easy) to calculating my firefox bookmarks. lets just say it is less than 2000 and with GREAT restraint on the forum and on my firefox to keep the numbers this low. really at some point too much info is a bad thing with such grey matter restrictions.

i did start a banned members list as i'm curious if it will hit 50. over 10 so far but just started.

I copy and paste the URL on to a notepad to reduce the clutter and load on the browser.

nothing wrong with clean living!

so you obviously are able to get in and out while making diverse, worthy and numerous contributions. quite admirable.

do you mean your links are in notepad as OPPOSE to being saved in the forum or a browser?

i like that idea a lot and do have it implemented in other areas but then i have too many icons and folders on the desktop pc.

oh the joys and pains of living in an age of information!

Still zero

Yes Sir.
I copy the URL and the heading of the page so that it is easier (and definitely keep back ups of it just in case the computer packs up because of having had way too many hard disks crash and die on me)
For example, if I wanted this particular thread details to be looked up later on, it would be entered into a notepad named "forum links" and say the folloiwng entry.

have you considered using excel for its ability to post links side by side pretty easily as well as sorting function and/or other methods/strats i'm not thinking of just now or don't know at all? you can click directly from it to go to a thread/page.
