HN actually has this feature! It seems to not be that widely known. From your profile page, click "saved stories". In your case that takes you to: https://news.ycombinator.com/saved?id=pdonis https://news.ycombinator.com/saved?id=pdonis (you can only view your own). This has a list of all stories you've upvoted.
Now you might ask: why can't I upvote a story but not bookmark it, or vice versa? I think merging these functions encourages desirable behavior (or would, if more people used it): it encourages thinking "is this story interesting enough to bookmark?" vs. "do I agree with / want to promote this story?" When I find myself wanting to upvote a story but not bookmark it, often I reconsider if I really want to upvote it. Many times those kinds of stories are of transient interest or political, and I really want to upvote as an "agree" but don't think the story is of significant enough long-term interest to clutter my HN "saved stories" bookmarks with it. In which case I then don't upvote it after all.
edit: Oops I see you're the person I replied to in the other thread as well. But leaving this comment here anyway so other people can find the functionality.
- pdonis 12y ago> From your profile page, click "saved stories" I responded to you in the other thread, but I'll briefly recap here as well: it would be really nice if there were a link to the "saved stories" page in the top bar, next to "threads" (it could just say "saved" there to save space). > you might ask: why can't I upvote a story but not bookmark it, or vice versa? I was going to ask that, but you already responded. :-)
