Using Bookmarks
What are Bookmarks?
Bookmarks on a forum are similar to the bookmarks (or favorites) of your web browser and provide quick access to your favorite threads.
Can I just bookmark the thread with my browser?
One advantage to using the online forum bookmarks, rather than the favorites features in your web browser, is that forum bookmarks are always available through your online forum account regardless of which computer or internet connected device you are using.
Another advantage is that you can receive notifications letting you know when topics you have bookmarked have been updated. You can choose to have an on-forum notification, an email notification, or both.
How do I bookmark a thread?
To bookmark a thread, first navigate to a thread that you would like to bookmark. Once viewing the thread, click the Actions drop-down menu found just above the first post of the thread, and from the menu select the Bookmark option. Once you choose the Bookmark option from the action menu, you will notice a
image display in the top-left hand corner of the thread, just above the post at the top of the page. You will also notice that the Bookmark option in the action menu has now changed to read Remove Bookmark, allowing you to remove the bookmark if you wish.
How do I access my bookmarks?
You can access all your saved bookmarks by clicking on the Bookmark button on the navigation menu at the top of the forum.
How do I set up my bookmark notifications?
You can manage your bookmark notifications via your profile:
► Profile > Edit Profile > Notifications tab
Keep in mind that you will only receive notifications when the bookmarked topics have been updated by other members; you will not receive a notification when you have posted in a bookmarked topic yourself.

You can manage your bookmark notifications via your profile:
► Profile > Edit Profile > Notifications tab
- Look for the notification "Bookmark: A thread you have bookmarked is updated."
- Tick the box in the Forum column to receive an on-forum notification. A notification bubble will appear over the Profile button if you have any new bookmark notifications.
- Use the dropdown selector under the Email column to choose if you wish to receive an email notification and the frequency.
Keep in mind that you will only receive notifications when the bookmarked topics have been updated by other members; you will not receive a notification when you have posted in a bookmarked topic yourself.
