I'd absolutely love a way to essentially bookmark threads, except have the ability to organize them into different folders that the user can create/modify/remove. Many sites have similar features so it's simply based off the general concept - the lists on Amazon, the playlists on YouTube, you know the gist. xD
I'm not sure it's even possible with the restraints of PB plugins, but I wanted to ask nonetheless because it would be... unbelievably invaluable on my forum haha
My members are in charge of keeping track of many many threads. For example, if they wanted to earn the special badge gifted to those who complete 50 quests, then they have to hunt down (ha pun) all 50 of those threads and link them to us so that staff can verify they meet the requirements. That forces the member to keep track of those 50 threads or find them later on--that's probably forcing them to go through hundreds of threads made over the course of a year (as 50 quests probably would take 1 year) in their personal recent threads, or, far far worse, if someone else made the thread and they have to look through the site's archives.... yikes. That's 1 example of many many many instances where they have to keep track of various thread types. A general member will have dozens of thread types that fit this example. I do know they could just copy/paste the thread URL into a word document or google doc or something like that every time to keep track manually, but most members will likely forget to do that or dislike how tedious it is and refuse to do it altogether.
Having the ability to save their various threads into a folder--organized by thread type--to find later by simply opening that folder would be a game-changer for them and a huge thorn in my administrative side removed hahah
If it isn't possible, lemme know ^^ If it is possible with a bunch of restrictions, lemme know that, too haha
