We have implemented a favourites facility, which enables you to create a list of your favourite threads, so that you can easily view them without having to search back through the other threads.

You will notice towards the left hand side of each thread title there is a grey star icon. To add a thread to your favourites, simply click on this and it will turn gold. You can select as many threads as you want, and then to view them simply click on the orange Display Favourites Only button towards the top left of the bulletin boards.

If you are viewing a thread that you want to add to your favourites, you will notice a grey star next to the thread title on the first post - again just click on this and it will be added to your favourites.

Ian, any comment on my post 16, or didn't you understand it?

Plateman,

Sorry I missed your post - in essence that button is designed to take you back to the main thread list. I will speak to Juraj about possibly adding another button which would take you back to your favourites.

Ian

Thanks Ian, I would certainly prefer to remain within my favourites list until I make a deliberate move back to the main list.

Plateman,

It seems like a good suggestion to me - I have handed it to the techies to take a look at adding an additional button to give you the choice - I will let you know what they say,

Ian

I have no favourites chosen, however when I click 'view favourites' I see the sticky thread at the top. This would seem to be a bug.

Jonathan,

Yep, Juraj is aware of this and will be working on it,

Ian

How about having it auto-favourite any thread you start?

Jonathan,

A good idea - we will take a look in due course,

Ian

Jon,

when I click 'view favourites' I see the sticky thread at the top

If de management want to make their sticky threads your favourites, then that's the way it is, capiche?

:)

MM,

Having shared an office with Bullshare for best part of 6 years, I'd rather not go anywhere near his favourite 'sticky threads' *shudder*

Jonathan.

How do I remove Friday's traders thread from Favourites. Clicking on star doesn't seem to work and right clicking doesn't dive an option

Helen, if you click the star, it will then mark it as not a favourite any more - if you then refresh the screen or navigate away from favourites and then back it will be gone.

Ian

Thank you Ian

Is there a limit to how many Favourites one can have? Having trouble adding an eighth and can't get rid of this thread.

edit: now having trouble adding the ninth. 8th ok now, but there seems to be a bug to sort out.

oilwatch - there is no limit to the number you can add - I have just deleted all of mine and re added one by one and have had no porblem adding an eighth and ninth thread to the favourites.

You cannot take this thread out at the moment, as it is blessed to stay at the top we will be looking into this, (please see previous postings about this).

Ian

ian - thanks. I'm beginning to get the hang of it now.

could you add a "My favourites List" link at the top of every thread?

oilwatch - we are putting one at the bottom of each thread you are in which will take you back to your favourites.

Ian

Thanks Ian. Just added it to my browser's favorites.

Ok,

A few enhancements added to this feature as per requests. At the bottom of a thread you are reading, you will see a 'favourites' button next to the thread list button - this will enable you to go straight back to your favourites.

You will also note that the blessed thread is no longer automatically displayed in your favourites list unless you have it marked as a favourite,

Ian
