Favorite Threads in Forum - watch Threads

[ddolezal]

Hello everybody,

first of all I have to admit that the forum has been a major contribution to our decision to purchase the keyshot software.
Still - I have one (or two) wishes for the forum software itself:
There are so many interesting examples and threads a newbie like me likes to remember.
And I would like to be notified if somebody adds a posting to one of these threads.

So is there a possibility to mark a thread as a favorite and have ones favorite threads in the user profile or somewhere prominently displayed when entering the forum?
Could we watch these threads and be notified when a posting is added to a watched thread?


This would make the forums to a kind of personalized Knowledge base.....

Thanks a lot,

Dieter

Hi ddolezal.
Welcome.

Have you tried the 'notify' button just to the right of the 'reply' button under each post?
That should do what you ask for

Hello Esben,

thanks for the reply - acutally, the notify button is only a part of my suggestion - but I am grateful that you pointed this out to me because I thought the button to have a different function.

A "collection" of favorite Threads, e.g. "my favorites" would be the other part.

Thanks again,

Dieter

You can go to profile --> modify profile --> notifications.
Here you get an overview over your "notified" post. Maybe you can use that.
Have you considered using your browsers bookmarks to save favorite threads?

Hello Esben,


this is indeed a possibility.


Still - I would like to have this information present on my startup page ("one-click-away")


And the reason I do not favor bookmarks is that I am working on 3 different systems plus smartphone & tablet.




Thanks a lot for your input,


Dieter
