Using Windows 10 and Google Chrome browser.
I have been saving a Bookmark for all the awesome information on various threads.
I just went to look for one of them … NOT !!
I checked the Bookmark manager, searched … nothing. Oops
So when I sent Bookmark on the Forum, where do they get saved ?
I was assuming they were in a Forum profile, but no.
Ideas ?

The “Bookmark” feature seems to be a time feature where a post/thread will be shown as new/relevant at a certain time.
This sort of thing was why I recorded so many links in the old Shapeoko wiki — back to doing that at:
https://old.reddit.com/r/shapeoko/wiki/index
(but it’s not quite as nice, and I have to admit that when at home I’ll often edit my archive copy of the wiki)
If there’s a thread or post which you think merits more attention we could see about pinning it, or adding it to the thread of memorable threads:
Hi folks,
I have been wondering whether we should have a pinned thread in the forum that would reference the most useful/relevant threads on a (short) list of specific/frequently covered topics.
Yes, there is a search feature, but it’s not always obvious for newcomers to know what to search/where to start. This would also not quite be a FAQ, more like a map with a few Xs marking the location of the knowledge nuggets hidden in the forum.
If this comes to be, I’d like this list to be short and …
Hi folks,
As I mentioned in a previous thread , I wanted to try and provide a curated list of interesting/popular forum threads on a variety of topics.
Obviously, there are so many things being discussed that it would be impossible to reference everything in a meaningful and maintainable way, so I went with a simpler approach of selecting one reference thread for a list of topics I see mentioned often, or for things I enjoyed reading over the last few years.
I’ll make this a locked thread with…

Ok, I will start saving “Bookmarks” in the Google Chrome.

That way I can save the threads in some folder structure in Chrome and not have to have an overall scheme that would fit everyone’s legitimate point of view.
After 30 days, I understand that the Forum will drop the thread, but the ORIGINAL URL will still be valid.
Yes/No ?

Yes, the URLs seem to be persistent — the system even tracks edits and going to an old URL will take one to the new/revised destination.

Ok, then that’s the plan going forward.
I did take a quick look at @Julien collection of threads
I already saved a Chrome bookmark for that.
Thanks
