I know I've brought this up before, how I would like to be able to have a custom category within the menu system where users can link maybe 3-5 forums/journals that they frequent for easy access. The idea being that it would improve functionality, particularly for forum goers who want to visit boards not quick-linked on their skin of choice.

An expansion of the idea would be to also include a Bookmarks tab where you would have access to your top 3-5 bookmarked threads.

Seconded.

Under the Accounts tab, you can easily access your bookmarked threads already.

I've got 128 bookmarks, and i can assure you, finding any specific one is not an easy task.

I know how to access my Bookmarks page. I really meant being able to organize your bookmarks, and have the top 3-5 be readily available through the menu system. i.e. You would have a menu branch off of the "Bookmarks" selection that would show you your top 5 Bookmarks, which you could get to without having to visit the Bookmarks page.

Some people bookmark guides or other such reference threads, and it would be nice to be able to get to the specific bookmark you want without having to go to your Bookmarks page and sift through them. I know, I know, you can use your browser's bookmark function to do this, but I figure this way, I'd actually use the site's feature instead.

Right, I misunderstood, my mistake.

Good point. Smiley: thumbsup

Even if we could just organize them by catagories that we come up with ourselves, that'd be nice.
