Sooo Iv seen this request come up a few times and it still really confuses me, so it'd be really helpful if you could explain what you'd like more.
What is the reason the bookmark feature in your bowser is not an adequate bookmark feature? What is it missing that you'd like added on the forum side that's not in your browser already? Is it just the ability to create a public list of favourite topics? (which you could do, all be it manually with html)
It's a feature request I have a hard time with because it seems like everything about it is already available 
I guess I just want to have things in their own place - admittedly, my browser bookmarks aren't as frequently used or as organized as I wish to be
There's a Spanish expression, "cajón de sastre" (tailor's drawer), which means any kind of place you put anything you don't know where else to put it. Loose screws, loose buttons, elastic bands, random office supplies... one thing I love about that expression is how you can easily turn it into "cajón desastre" (disaster drawer) because that's the kind of chaos it eventually gathers.
That's how I feel about my browser bookmarks. If I put a link in there I can't quite guarantee I'll find it again, or I'll even remember it. Out of sight, out of mind, you know?
Now, that was quite a problem when I decided to specifically look for art advice on the Internet and have all those useful links on hand. At first, I tried an organization program,
Turtl, similar to Evernote or OneNote. And while it's a good program and I recommend it, I felt I could do something a little more... customizable. I started to put all those links on a webpage. And that's how my
art resources page was born.
...but I can't do the same with forum links, can I? Wouldn't that be kind of creepy?
I'm not against posting one or two links to forums if they are discussing interesting art info I cannot get elsewhere, but with Melonland... I'm trying to keep track of ongoing conversations, and I don't think a webpage like Art Resources is the answer here.
I'm currently using the Notify/Alert settings within Melonland, as well as the Unread Topics/Replies, which do a pretty good job of reminding me topics I like exist: but I find them to be a little too attention-based. Like, it only pops up when something new is added. What if I just want to check out a topic even if nobody has commented on it for 2 months? A smaller, more limited "drawer" (a little box where I only put loose ribbons, for example) would help find these topics easier.
They're not bad ideas, mind you, I just think it could use a few more good ideas... and I thought a bookmark system would be one.
