ok, i had a question, and i answered it myself as i was starting this thread. i thought i would post the question, and my answer, as it may be useful to others...

Q: occasionally i read a thread and i think, "when i have that problem i will want to come back to this thread." i was wondering if there was a way to have a list of flagged threads that i come back to later?

A: you moron, of course there is. for instance, i'll bet you are interested in the most recent thread regarding headlight upgrades. while the forum does not have this feature, all you have to do is bookmark the thread in your web browser bookmarks/favorites. since you were dumb enough to ask this question, i'll also tell you that you should create a special folder for all your forum bookmarks, so theyre easier to find.

this might be a good time to tell you to use the mozilla firefox browser as well.

good luck!

what i, or we, would like to know is why is it called multiple personality DISorder? that makes no sense to any of us. in fact, it's the one thing we all agree on!

it's a gift.

The trick I do is to subscribe to the thread using the Thread Links in the menu at the top of the thread. Then I can go to the User Control Panel and view my subscribed threads... all 801 of them. That way I can find the interesting thread no matter what computer I am using (goofing off at work)

are you really subscribed to 801 threads? how do you keep them straight?

Actually I am not subscribed to 801 threads. At the moment I am subscribed to 855 threads. (Remember that you can configure the forum to subscribe you to a thread when you reply to it.)

I just remember them and the list is sorted so the most recently active one is at the top.
