What are you using? Chrome, Firefox, IE...?

Try Ctrl+D, and name the bookmarks appropriately for easy use. I've bookmarked pages using my own weird aconyms and have no idea what I bookmarked them for until I open them up.

Also called Favourites.

When you are a site you want to Bookmark, you should be able to click on Bookmark or Favourites and Add.

I made folders in mine so I can group things like Writing links in one place, History Research in another, Agents, etc. Makes it faster to find the ones I need.

Yes, just go into a forum you want to bookmark, and:

In Firefox, select Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page
In IE, select Favorites > Add to Favorites
In Chrome, select the yellow star

Within your preferred browser, you should be able to organize your bookmarks, e.g. group them into a folder and sort them to suit your own preferences. I must have a couple dozen AW folders under my "AW forums" group.

Then again, from within any folder or when viewing any thread, you can use the Forum Jump option at the bottom of the page to jump directly to another forum without having to go back to the main index or select your bookmarks/favorites.

Oh, thanks guys. Yeah I'm using Firefox and of course know how to bookmark. I was just wondering if there was any Bookmark Forum feature built into the site itself..

Thanks again,
Daniel

You can subscribe to a specific forum under 'Forum Tools'. It's under the 1, 2, to last on the parent forum (which hold all the tech threads for instance).

Sorry, I cannot find it. Where can I find "Forum Tools?..

Thanks,

Edit: I must be going blind, yes there is a Forum Tools option, above the thread list in each forum.

Easiest way to find any word in all the major browsers is 'ctrl+f' and type Forum Tools.
