Bookmark Basics

This site has a 'bookmark' feature for comments, posts, and users. At the end of a post or comment, there will be a link labeled "Bookmark this". If you click on that link, it will add that post or comment to Site Index -> Bookmarks -> My post bookmarks or My comment bookmarks (respectively). This will allow you to note posts or comments that you find to be especially valuable.

To bookmark a user, find a comment they have posted, and click on their user name. That will bring you to their user page. On that page you will find a link to "Bookmark this user", which will make them show up in Site Index -> Bookmarks -> My bookmarked users. While you are on a user's page, you may also notice that you can click on "Contact" if they allow themselves to be contacted via the website or "Comments" to see a list of comments they have recently made.

While bookmarking is good for users you want to keep track of, there may be some users whose comments you consider to be of little value. When you see a comment by one of these users, you may click on the "Ignore user" link. This will make all of that user's comments hidden from you by default, but it will leave a link you can click on to make individual comments visible again. You can add people to or remove people from your ignore list by going to your ignore list page (accessible from Site Index -> My Account).

Finally, note that in the Site Index -> Bookmarks menu, there are two more options: Most popular posts and Most popular comments. These provide a list of the most-bookmarked posts and comments across the site. This is intended to provide users with a quick way to find valuable posts or comments since it can be hard to sort through the large number of posts/comments for valuable insight.

As the site progresses, we intend to add a feature to let people categorize comments to make it easier to search through them. When that feature is implemented, this help file will be revised to include it.
