Hi Apologies if this doesn't seem a proper feature request but I didn't know where else to put it. It also might seem a little bit far out I would like it if Bookmarks in the Navbar said Favourites instead. And also the drop down action menu when looking at someone's post said 'Favourite'. I don't know if it's possible to change these things but I doubt it Anyway, perhaps this is perhaps more the feature suggestion: I would like to see some kind of clickable star in the title bar of each post I am looking at (to the left of the Quote button) and when clicking it it changed to show it had been clicked (hollow to full) and placed a link automatically to that particular post into some folder, maybe in my profile or in an additional button on the Navbar I think I would use it as somewhere to remember specific posts within threads - which would be helpful when you have to re-find specific instructions within a thread that may be 10 pages longer by the time you go back to it. It would make 'bookmarking' less clunky and mean bookmarking itself was about following conversations, whereas favouriting was about remembering and noting specific posts within threads for later reference. And yes I know you can do this already by linking to post blah blah etc but it is very very clunky and certainly doesn't autosave that link. Plus, clicking a star is much cooler What do you reckon? Can ya dig me?

You can change your names to whatever you want. Admin > Settings > Forum Settings > Navigation
What you're asking for is bookmarking (either on the forum or your browser). You want a way to mark content with an icon that you can then go to a list of them and come back later. That is literally bookmarking. You can either bookmark a thread on the forum, or bookmark the post in your browser if you need to micro-manage it. When it's a thread it's on the forum because you can get updates when there is new content. A post doesn't get new content so you can just use your browser.
In most cases most of the time you are already covered by the built in bookmark system in v5. In the very few times that you aren't that you want to save something very specific like a single post you can use your browser.
And lastly, this can be a plugin if you still really wanted it and someone wanted to take the time to make it.
