Pin a subject

Not sure what you mean by "pin a topic."

Rich, maybe "pin" is an incorrect word. So what I am wondering, is there a way to "tag" a subject so that at a future date I can look at it again without having to do a subject search. Like Ebay, as an example, if I see something I may be interested in I can but it on my "Watch List" to review it later on. As it is now, I either have to do a "Follow this topic" and hope some others continue to post to it, or I copy the posts to MS Word and then either save it to a file or print it.

Would be nice if there was a list of "tagged" postings that were stored in a file under my account that I could refer back to in weeks, months or years from now.

Ray,

What you can do is "like" the topic or individual post.

Then, at any time, you can go to your activities page under your profile, and click on any of the posts or topics you "liked" to go directly there.

No wonder your a teacher. That is a real getting out of the box smart idea.

Being a  computer challenged individual I would never have figured that out

I certainly think you could call that pinned or taged.

I will be using that information in the future.

Jim,

Thanks for the note. I did a test to see how it works and it worked just fine - except as follows:

I used a test message, sent a reply and then hit "Liked this topic". When to my profile, hit "Display all posts" and the test message I "Liked" showed up.

So the next test message was one I did NOT send a reply. I clicked on "Liked this topic" as well as "Follow this topic". Refreshed the page and the message did NOT come up in my "Display all posts". Do I need to send a reply in order for it to appear in my "Display all posts"?

Thanks for the info.

Your likes will show up in your activity feed. There a button just under your avatar in your profile that says activity. click on it. This new forum software is so clunky. It takes 3 clicks to do what used to take one.

Why not just add it to Bookmarks, Favorites, etc. (not sure what Chrome and Safari call them)

True it will be device specific, but works unless the thread gets deleted or there is some sort of upgrade that re-organized the http addresses.  The most recent upgrade here did not affect the addresses of topics (I still can get to topics I had bookmarked prior to the upgrade fine, they just have the new look and feel).  Lionel's most recent update did change the http addresses for their content, though.

Ray,

Looks like they changed things a little on the new format.

They used to lump both posts and likes in the same activity column.

Now, instead of hitting "Display all posts" on the right side of the page, there is a separate "Likes" button on the left side of the page right under the avatar picture. All likes will show up there.....or you can see both posts and likes together by hitting the activity button next to the likes button.

Like Elliot said - three clicks to do what used to take one.
