What about a "favorite list"?

[Online_Sword]

When I find some useful or interesting posts in MT, I would want to save them for future reading.

Currently, it seems that we have two approaches for this, but neither of them are efficient enough:

1. "Watching" that thread. This approach has several problems. At first, each time when I reply to a thread, that thread will be "watched" automatically. With time goes on, we would have too many watched threads. Furthermore, we can only watch an entire thread, not a single post. The third advantage of this approach is that, once you watch a thread, you will be alerted whenever someone replies that thread. Well, this is just what the function "watch" is designed for. But it is not convenient for users who just want to save some posts in a thread for future reading.
2. Using the bookmarks of the browsers. In such case, the synchronization of the bookmarks between different browsers will become a problem, because I use different browsers in my desktop, laptop and mobile phones. In addition, if we want to add the url of a single post inside a thread to the browsers bookmarks, we need to edit the url manually. It is not very convenience.

Therefore, I hope MT staffs could add a new button "mark" near the button "like". When I "mark" a post, it will be added into a favorite list corresponding to my account. Then I can use this list as long as I log into MT, no matter where I am. Different from "like", I hope whether I mark a thread is only visible to myself.

Thanks.

Great idea @Online_Sword I hope (I actually know, but I'm modest) @Jack can implement this feature

Regarding the item title of the favorite list:

In the "watched threads" list, each item has a natural title: the title of the thread.

But, if we have a favorite list, how to specify the title of the items?

The problem is, a single post inside a thread does not have a title, except the original post.

For this problem, my suggestion is to let users to type in the titles by ourselves.

This can be implemented by showing a pop-up window asking the title when a user click the "mark" button.
