Yes! Yes! Yes! I would get so much more out of the site if I could revisit some threads I'm interested in. I quickly forget when the post is no longer highlight as unvisited.
Maybe threads can be "floated" to the top of the page until they are "unwatched".
In fact, I'll probably forget about this thread by tomorrow -- a thread I'm very much interested in!
- SwellJoe 18y agoI usually make a point of commenting in threads that I'm interested in following, and so I just look at my own comments and then I know what I wanted to follow. Or maybe I actually am only really interested in the sound of my own voice, and the mere fact of my having commented in a thread makes it interesting. Whatever. Works for me.
- tome 18y agoHow about using the bookmark feature of your web browser?
- greml1n 18y agoWhy not just write down the url? I mean, that functionality already exists.
- graywh 18y agoWhy don't we just use carrier pigeons when our favorite message boards are down, too.
- parenthesis 18y agoPeople don't always read HN from the same computer (and don't necessarily bother to keep bookmarks sync'ed between machines).
- felideon 18y agoNot only that but if I do remember/find the threads I'm interested in, I'll definitely not remember which comments I've read already, so... Wouldn't it be nice to also have the ability to highlight comments that are new since your last visit? That, or the ability to sort comments in chronological order (like in a forum).
