While You're At It, I Have a Suggestion
When I first joined Wa(not that long ago) they had just gave it a facelift. I don't know what it looked like before, I just remember everyone talking about it. All I knew, was that it looked great! It was easy for me to find my way around and that's what I did...for months.
Since then Kyle, Carson & Jay have added more new features than I can count. Each one of them better than the last. The best thing is, when they add a totally new feature it doesn't take hours or days to learn it. It's usually fairly easy to pick up on quickly. I love that, it saves lots of time.
Now I'd Like to Suggest Something
There is one feature that would make my life great and I'd like to know what the WA community thinks of it. If it's something everyone likes, maybe we can talk them into doing it. I hate to ask them for any more, I'm not really sure when they sleep as it is.
The Proposal
Wealthy Affiliate members stick around for a long time. I've seen members that have been here for several years. If you take the info they provide and add it to the info new members provide, we get a ton of great stuff.
What if we could save or bookmark this info inside WA somehow. I already do it with chrome, I have a folder called "WA" It's full of stuff I want to read and stuff I've read before but like to go back to now and then..for lots of reasons.
I'm sure a lot of you have thought about having a feature like this. heck, I'd be surprised if Kyle & Carson haven't already started working on it.
Anyway...
What do you guys think?

I recall Carson saying at the latest update that bookmarking is an oft-requested feature! I'm sure it's under "active consideration", at least I hope so. The My History function in the main menu is definitely great for trying to remember what I saw 5 minutes ago, after I've been around the bowl and the plastic mermaid looks new, or for hopping back and forth between subjects. I use a separate app, a "url manager", as I find that I like access to all my bookmarks from dozens of sites, regardless of the browser or other app I'm in. It's definitely worth considering one of those if you bookmark constantly, as I find it an enormous help! Rich.
I'm sure they've already thought of this, maybe it's just so easy implement. Maybe I should be using my history a little more, that will probably help a lot.
Can you share what URL manager you use. I've never heard of anything like that, I do bookmark tons of stuff..probably too much.
I'm afraid that I'm a choir boy to the Fruit God, so my recommendation probably won't be much help, http://www.url-manager.com/ However, I'm sure there are similar apps for Windoze. :P Rich.
Wow Rich, I was totally confused by what you were saying until I clicked the link. Yes, I am on the dreaded PC, but I hope to find my way out of it soon. I've never even used an apple before, but I hear really good things. One day soon I will own one.
LOL, once Mac, never back. I switched a couple of years ago and have never regretted it. I convinced Kyle and Carson to try the MacBook Pro with Retina Display and they now make frequent financial sacrifices on the altar of the Fruit God. We're all agog with anticipation about the October launch of the new Mac Pro http://www.apple.com/mac-pro :) Rich.
It's a good idea and I like it. That being said, I'm also trying to get into the habit of using the classrooms more effectively, there is so much there already organized by categories. I also use the search bar and will often find what I need and I know that I will then find it again next time because of how things are tagged.
It's when I see an excellent link posted in chat that I say, gotta have that, and then I save them. Thanks for posting.
Rick, thats a really good point. The classrooms are very well organized. I do like the search feature, but there has been a time or two when it was hard to find exactly what I was looking for. I did eventually find it, and it's not like it took a ton of effort so maybe thats why they haven't added this feature yet.
Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for reading, I'm glad you liked it. Just as sidenote you might want to try the rapid writer. Thats what I use, it's a good way to save stuff and it's right inside WA.
I vaguely remember a 'bookmark' function in the old platform. I DO think it would be helpful to have some kind of area to save our favorite training or save stuff for later.
Hmm.. That must've been before I joined. I figured you would be on board with this idea. But, you and I have had discussions about how much time they put into WA, so hopefully they can find just a little more.
We'll see!
oh.. one other thing.... the search function here on WA.... is excellent.... but yes, bookmarking would be nice.....
Absolutely agreed! Currently I copy and paste links to my own blog, so I can find them in there later. It's impossible not to miss bits, there's so much info here, - but it's worse when you see something and you can't find it again to read later/again. I would like this feature too.
Yep, I've done the same thing. I've even used the Rapid writer, evernote and similar programs and I can usually come back and find something if I misplaced it somehow. But it would be great and take a little less time if it was built in.
Christopher..... you suggest something that is quite common in other venues like this one.... frankly, I was quite... actually, very surprised when I re-uped my old membership that this was not implemented yet......
It WOULD be nice, since we have a 'my history', 'my profile' 'account settings' and so many other personal settings, etc. to have a 'My Bookmarks'.... or whatever K & C would like to call it....
So.... it gets my vote.
Good job!
Cliff
Cliff,
Great! Glad to see you'd enjoy having some type of feature like this in place. As you said, the search feature is great, and so are a lot of the other features. I know they work hard and they do a great job of keeping WA the BEST online business community.
Thanks for the vote.

Using the 'what are you looking for' search box is what we have. Hope the 'active consideration' becomes reality. ^_~
Thanks, I hope so too.
