I've updated the forum software with a bookmark functionality. At the bottom of the main section list (the page you see when you enter the forums) You'll find the entry for your bookmarks. You can bookmark any thread you like. Bookmarking a thread is very simple, just click on the yellow star at the top of a thread's message listing (when you view a thread). To unbookmark a thread, either remove it from the list in the bookmark list, or click on the star with the red cross at the top of a bookmarked thread in message view.

I've added this feature because there is no good RSS reader on the market which suited my needs for tracking threads/postings which I had to reply to. I hope this feature is useful to you too. If you have requests for this feature, post in this thread simple_smile

(I used RSSBandit for this, but I'm fed up with its bugs and although it's open source, the development speed of it is very slow...)

Cool feature! Love it smile

On the search page, you might consider expanding the Forums to search lisbox by 4 lines to that all forums fit into the box and you don't have to scroll down to select your categories... Just a suggestion wink

Something I think would add greatly to the Forum especially on the bookmarks page is in addition to the StartedBy field, to have a LastMessageBy field.

This would tell me if the last message on the thread was my own or a reply to my own...

Will check it out. It will require an extra join, but I don't think it will slow down things dramatically.
