How to keep favorite threads on one page!

Many users often wonder how they keep track of threads that they really like, well they can use the 'favorites' feature. This is always shown by a small red heart. Each thread has one. If you like a thread and want to make it so you can always keep track of it then simply click on the red heart or favorite link within the thread and it will be added to your favorites page.

So now you are wondering where your favorites page is... Well if you look in the top many you will see this:



Q. What is the purpose of the above button?
A. You will see this button or similar to it on each thread you visit. This function is for Premium Plus Members, it allows them to add a thread to a special page that they can track. They can even make it accessible to the public so that others can see the type of messages they are most interested in. Users that like to discuss certain ideals will especially like this.

Other alternatives is to click 'notify of replies' on the threads or boards you wish to watch, check the 'recent posts' page and each board one by one. Have fun, but remember that the favorites page will not show you new threads, so you still have to keep checking the board.

Also looking at the BGID® Board

Members are responsible to check the BGID® board which lists changes that we make here. You can access this board from the index, jump menu, or in the top menu called 'updates' with this icon:

For those of you who did not get an email newsletter, a copy is placed in this board month by month. If you do not get emails from us you need to make sure you are not using a strong filter. It is very important that you are able to receive email from us because if your account is in default for some reason then you will be deleted, banned or suspended without knowing the cause.

Withing the BGID® board there is one particular thread that you should read more than others and that is called 'forum updates'. This thread speaks about specific changes in the forum, rules, etc.

The Latest Posts

One of the things members often miss by a mile are the latest posts. If you click on the Unanswered Threads then you will get all the threads with no reply, if you click on Latest Threads then you will get all the latest for the day, but you can extend this by selecting to show all posts from 'x' days ago.
