Yes, under "My ProZ.com" would be very nice -- one web page where only my selected forums would appear. And the selection could be made using the same select-menu flagging that is there on the forums page now (the one that says "Threads/Topics/Off" Just add an option to flag a forum as "Mine" or "Bookmark" or "Fave". :-)

I don't think that this would require much technically (easy to say if one doesn't have to do it) :-) -- if there is room for three options, there should be room for a fourth. It means adding a line to the long "My ProZ.com" menu -- that would probably require some internal campaigning.

Forums - Ability to bookmark | is this feature really missing? (seems so)

The most obvious solution IMO would be almost exactly the same function as the "View only my languages / View all languages" tabbing on the job listings page.

I still can't believe that something like this is not possible here (there are so many forums that I will never want to look at), but I guess that this reflects the heavy reliance on e-mail notifications here at ProZ.com -- people use the "notify me about all threads / topics" flags on the forums that interest them and then when a message comes in e-mail notifications are generated.

I personally prefer not to receive hundreds of such notifications, but rather browse the forums (but only "my" forums) when I have time.

(So I, too, encourage development of this new feature.)

Post title: Bookmarking would be nice

In some other fora I can bookmark threads as my "favourites" and I use this feature a lot. There is no left hand pane, just a "Favourites" menu item that brings up a page listing threads I have saved, and number of new posts in them (if any). Threads with new posts are highlighted with bold or colour.

Forums - Ability to bookmark | In "My ProZ.com"?

I've just tried it and it worked on my computer.

I was referring to the ProZ menus on the left that say things like Conferences, Forums, Powwows etc. I was wondering if we can add our favorite forums there. Otherwise you would be right :)

I am not that well versed in the ProZ abilities but I thought it would be great if we can "bookmark" the forums we visit so we do not have to go through the Community -> forums and then find the one we want. I am not talking about following threads which you can do indeed and you get great notifications but I am asking whether on let's say the left side menu we can find our bookmarked forums so we can click and read or enter new topics.

Thanks for any feedback!
