Do you use XenForo bookmark system?

[BassMan]

Hi,

I'm curious if you guys use the XenForo bookmark system for post bookmarking? I use it here for some posts on official XF forum, but not on my own forums.

Yup. People on here are always posting useful tips. I use the label system too. code; tip, query, add-on, etc.

My gripe is you can't search them or see the labels used as a list or cloud.

And on your own forum? What about your users? (if you have any insight for that)

Agree. You have to remember your labels.

Edit:
well, if you click in the labels filter you can see them

I have a forum that I plan to migrate and when I listed some features people went nuts for bookmarks. Called it a gamechanger. It's basically a tip forum of a niche so that's why. My other forum that is XF already I don't think it is used much. It's more of an artistic forum, video watching, etc.

I thought rarely, but just checked I have 3 pages so maybe that is moderate. I will need to go through them, some must be important I suppose.

I will check my db for usage though.

Funny, I did a poll on my forum about what features people used.

nearly all of them had just one main feature: making posts and discussing stuff.

 

[BassMan]

making posts and discussing stuff.

Totally agree this is the main feature

I understand that for most users many forum features will not be interesting. They just want to discuss or get information etc.

Like I suspected not too many in the db.

Heavily. It gives me the option to postpone work for a later date on my forum.

I think the bookmark system is only interesting for power-users and mods/admins. Most users won't even know it exists but the ones who visit regularly will make a use of it. I am glad it exists because I could not live without it.

Same

Is bookmark the same as "Watch"?

I see its not but how do you set one? I'm Xenforo less than a month.

 

[beerForo]

Therein lies the problem.

 

[Seeker-Smith]

I found the little tiny bookmark top right on a post next to share. Never even thought to click it.

I wonder if it was a star like Chrome if that would help.

 

[beerForo]

I think I will change mine to star as an experiment and watch usage. Anyone know how? And yellow instead of orange, when marked?

That I would have recognized. Even Firefox on Apple or Linux uses the star.
