@ptp at first I was surprised a little because we don't do any sort of translation. But then I realized what happened: We remove all non-English characters from the input for better formatting / usability.

@Amin, Thanks for the quick feedback ! I imagined a lot of things except obliterating chars.:)  I guess is more a technology choice and not a formatting / usability issue, unicode is highly availabl although handling Hebrew or Arabic right-to-left can be an usability issue:(    I rarely write stuff with acute accents (US keyboard), so is not an issue for me.... maybe an issue for your Quebec (French) neighbors.:)

@ptp The website language is English only hence the limitation. But we increased the range to include accent characters for occasions like this. Your post reads fine now:)

I think all would agree there is a ton of info on these forums. But I find myself going back to say the same 25 threads that may apply to a project I'm working on.

Instead of creating bookmarks in my browser...how about a "Favorites" button that will save those under our account? It could be anything we would like to save there like threads or most used controls in the manual etc.

Anyone else think this would be a good idea or of value?

I use this kind of functionality (Save thread) in Reddit all the time, just the way you suggest.  Things that I need to be able to refer back to and want to make sure I see any updates to even if I have been away for a while.

I can totally see the value of that feature. How about a page in user account that lists all the previously "Thumbed Up" content for the user?

That too would work equally as well.
