Have you ever read a really good post on a forum, and it was so good that you wanted to bookmark it? Sure, you can go into your web browser, and add the page to your "Favorites", or "Bookmark" the page, but all this does is bookmark the whole web page. I go to other forums as well, and these forums happen be more busy than this board (no offense to this board). Sometimes I think to myself, "It would be nice if you could bookmark this post", and that would be a very good idea in my opinion. Because, sure you could search for a post, but if there are thousands and thousands of posts, it would be a headache.

But I'm surprised a feature like this hasn't been implemented in most boards yet. You should have the ability to bookmark a member's post. Right next to where it says "Edit, Quote, Reply, Delete", there should be a "Bookmark" option, and once that is done, you can go into your control panel, go under the "Bookmark Section", and see all the posts you bookmarked. And then it would take you to that specific post, rather than the whole topic it was posted in. Because obviously if there are 20-50 pages in a thread, do you really want to go looking through all of them to find that post you liked?

And recently on one of the forums I go to, I saw a very good post, but the pages to the thread mount up very quickly, and soon you have a hard time looking for it. And let's just say that you remember how good the post was, but you don't particularly remember the username of the person that posted it. Perhaps it is some weird name. If you had bookmarked the post, then it would be no problem. And bookmarking pages/favorites isn't very reliable anyway. If your computer breaks down or becomes fried, as long as the bookmarks are on your account, you can login from any computer, and they will still be there.

A Bookmark option would be excellent. And you can add/delete them as you see fit. And in order to conserve board space, if you need to put a limit, put a limit. Make it so you can have up to 100 favorite posts. It's probably not going to be very often that you have a favorite post anyway. Just something to consider if this board ever did pick up in activity.

I like that idea and it would be rather easy to implement too; limits and such would not even really be necessary.

I'll look into it.

That'd be kinda like AB1.x favorites feature, amirite?

Also, on an Acmlmboard, a certain post is assigned an unique ID and may be accessed directly via that ID (thread.php?pid=FOO#FOO, shows the thread and scrolls you down to post ID FOO), and otherwise should always be on the same page on a thread (except on AB1.x if posts were deleted). Not sure if that works the same on other board systems, seeing as some of them use totally fucked up linking schemes, and/or are globally fucked up...
