Adding a Favorites Option to the Forum

[ScaleRobotics]

Searching around vBulletin sites a little bit, it looks like people have been requesting this feature for a number of years.

Another way is to go to your subscribed threads and set up a Favorites folder. To do that, go under quick links, and then go to edit folders. Add a folder called favorites (or whatever you would like to organize your favorite threads).

Then, when you see a thread you like, click on Thread Tools, and subscribe to thread. You will see the following pop up. Change the folder to whatever you have called it, (in my case favorites), then the Add Subscription button.

Walter,
That looks like the best way yet! I am going to use your method myself.

Walter,

I agree with Dave. Your method seems to be the best way to do what I want. I would probably create a few folders like "USB", "DT Interrupts", etc. This way I would be able to find the threads I need pretty quick. I will definetily give this a try.

I wonder if this Favorites option was posible to do with the old forum format. Probably not, but I am just curious.

Walter,

I've been busy lately between work and watching the Soccer World Cup . But, I finally tried your method of creating a Favorites folder in the Subscribed Threads. It works great! It's exactly what I needed. Thank you all for your help.

I dont know how relevant this solution would be (wouldnt help if you use multiple computers), but for Firefox users there's a brilliant tool called Scrapbook; it captures pages either in full, nested, or a selection of the page. You can annotate, add keywords and do a FULL indexed search. Also, you can 'combine' pages; this feature is great to save a page, along with say a hex file, or a zip thats URL'ed on that. So, you have a complete project available right on your hard disk.

In fact I find Scrapbook so indispensable I dont think I would switch from Firefox, just for it.
