Save Threads

devlinio

Hi

I use boards for searching for different reading material. Some forums have invaluable sources of information, that can be recent, or years old.

Would it be possible to create a feature where we can create personal private 'lists'. We can save various forums to different lists and have a reference if we want to read something down the line.

This is different from the subscribe feature where if you subscribe to a thread from 10 years ago, it would be hidden among your thread, with no easy access.

Hi devlinio,

Thanks for the suggestion. There is kind of a way to do what you are asking.

If you hover over your username (on Legacy Site) and select Followed Threads, you'll be brought to this page: https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/subscription.php?do=viewsubscription

There is a link to Edit Folders in the menu on the left (under My Threads): https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/subscription.php?do=editfolders

Here you can set up custom folders. When you go back to your Subscriptions, you can then use the checkboxes and select "Move to Folder" from the "Selected Threads" dropdown menu before hitting Go. This will bring you to a page that allows you to move the threads into a chosen folder that you setup above.

Finally, on the subscriptions view again, there will be a Folder Controls option at the top of the page that will allow you to move between viewing your followed threads and any custom folder.

I hope that helps. Let me know if you run into any difficulties and I'll grab some screenshots.
