Suggestion Add Bookmarked Threads

[JuanMena]

I've recently found myself comming to a very specific thread that I made a long time ago (January 25th 2021) and I've had troubles finding it through the search bar or by browing each thread on the specific forum.

I was thinking that maybe you guys could implement some sort of BOOKMARKED THREADS within the Profiles in order to save important threads for later use.

What makes it different from "Follow this Thread"?
Well... if you follow a thread you get notifications of replies, likes, quotes and attached files (if your notifications settings are like that)

And my suggestion is just to add tthe "BOOKMARKED THREADS" feature in order to save and browse threads even if said threads has been shoved under many pages of new threads, or if it's been locked.

Think of it as any Web Browser Bookmarks.

Have you considered using the notes block on the portal? That's what I tend to do for this kinda thing. Obviously not as smooth as an actual system, but it's functional.

Have you perhaps thought about...bookmarking them in your browser? Make a bookmark folder called GBAtemp and then shove whatever important things you want in there. Not quite sure why we should build a whole system around something that exists in every web browser.

I didn't knew that that existed.

Yes. And while you're 100% right, let's say that having GBATEMP Bookmarks on Profiles could ensure that they're accesible through any browser on both PC and Mobile Phones.

Practically every modern browser can sync bookmarks across any device, whether it's mobile or PC or whatever. Firefox, Chrome Edge, Safari, the various Chromium and Firefox-based alternatives all support this.

Again, why should we design a feature that already exists across every web browser?

Just a suggestion

Spoiler: Off Topic

@Tom Bombadildo is your username a reference to Lord of the Rings?

Why not just click on your own profile then select postings scroll to the bottom and select find all threads by. It then takes about 2 seconds to find your thread you are looking for.

Yeh, did it earlier and spent a good 15 minutes browsing through the stupid stuff I post regularly.
Like, the thread I keep comming back to was made in January the 25th.
