>>>I admit, SI is pretty good, but there's always room for improvement. I hope they add the ability to bookmark individual posts. Every now and then a post has information that I know I will want to go back to. Theres no easy way to do that now. <<< very simple .... make a bookmark folder in your netscape or IE favorites ... call it SI then add bookmarks to the folder ... such as ... SI friends or SI tech read or SI HYPSTER posters then ... save the posts to whichever bookmark fits ... my of my ... you can even save private messages!!

To bookmark an individual post, just do it with your browser, where you can rename it to make it easier to remember why you saved it in the first place. That's pretty easy. But you're right - there's always room for improvement. So I'll back off a bit. I don't want any changes which slow down loading of the message thread pages. So many sites are turning into digital gumbo, the pages take forever to show up! ...Mezz - On a modem, not a zoomie zoomie connection.

As others said, you can do it with your own browser. Which reminds me of my favorite advice to web and system designers. If there are more than one way to do things, just use one way. Windows always manages to create 17 ways to do something, in the interest of making things "easy". Ends up making it harder because of the confusion about what all the buttons and options are for. SI is pretty simple to operate once you figure it out. Although I never did see a page where they explained how to do it for new users.
