*There are several threads dedicated to great/favorite posts, but it sounds like a good idea to maintain a scrapbook of favorite posts, profiles, etc* Using the thread I frequent as an example (The Dream Machine) some posts have a lot of useful information. I know that someone will ask a related question in the future. For example multimonitors are frequently discussed. Also networking PC's and sharing modem connections is a reoccurring theme. Sometimes posters spend a lot of time creating a quality post. I would like to take the better multimonitor posts and place them in a folder named multimonitors and then make the folder public. Same for the networking posts and many other categories. *Multiple SubjectMarks pages might solve the problem of forgetting where threads are located on your SM page.* Given a choice I would opt for the multiple SubjectMark pages. They certainly would be a welcome enhancement. However I find the non split option that was available in SI Classic much more convenient. As I scan through the 200+ SubjectMarks my eye looks for two things...the thread name and the number of new posts and sometimes the date of the last post. 0 means 0..there can be no other interpretation. I do not see the benefit to making a thread more difficult to find. A bit of a hedge here. It is now more difficult to determine how many new posts there are on a thread. This is due to the distance between the thread name and the number of new posts and the small fonts. One can no longer determine with a quick glance the number of new posts...therefore one can no longer quickly determine that the thread has 0 posts. So from this point of view removing a 0 post thread from view has some validity. Zeuspaul
