I have marked few questions as favorite by highlighting star mark. But I do not see any link to see favorite questions. Is there any way to see it ?

What does bookmarking a question mean? How do you bookmark a question? Do users get updates on their bookmarked questions? Are my bookmarks publicly visible? How do you see your own bookmarks? How do you see other users' bookmarks? How do you see which users have bookmarked a particular question? What impact does the bookmark system have on the voting system? Can I &quot;un-bookmark&quot; a question? Can I search within my bookmarks?

As I was browsing earlier today, I really happened to like an answer to a question. The question didn't interest me so much, and the answer was actually a tangential reply to some of the comments in the post, and was by far more valuable than the original question or the accepted answer. Now, my only options to favorite that answer are   Favorite the question. Add the link to the answer to my browser's bookmarks.   I was pretty sure others have had the need for this, and sure enough, I found a  and a , both nearly two years ago and a , nearly a year ago.  Now, there might have been several reasons why it (and several other old feature-requests) was denied. SO was pretty young back then, there probably weren't enough developers on board, perhaps they didn't have the resources to track favorite answers. But SO has grown since then from 1-3 sites to 30+ sites. Requests that might have at one point been too demanding, might now be easily implementable, which could greatly enhance user experience.  So, my question is: "Can we re-request features that were previously declined, provided the request and the denial are sufficiently old, so that the team can reconsider their decision?"  After how long is sufficient enough needs to be decided by the community and is only to prevent re-requesting a feature that was only declined say a week ago.

We are happy to announce that the  follow question and answer feature is now live across the Network, including Stack Overflow, all Stack Exchange sites, and all Meta sites. (International Stack Overflow sites will have it turned on in a day or two once we have translations all set.) You can follow any question or answer (that you did not author) by clicking on the [follow] button that is shown in the menu immediately below the post (alongside the [share] button):    After you have followed a post, you will get inbox notifications for all new answers (in the case where you followed a question), comments, edits, and notices. You will not receive notifications for any action that you performed. As was mentioned in the earlier post, we are not making changes at this point to the notifications received by a post owner, or due to @mentions. The initial release had been planned to only include question following. Thanks to many folks who chipped in over the past few weeks, we are happy to release both question and answer following at the same time. These are available in both the regular and mobile views. We are still planning on two more related releases:  Follows profile tab and question listing filter: A tab for follows will be added to your user profile activity page. Each user will be able to view this tab that will provide a listing of followed questions and answers, with standard sorts, and the ability to unfollow from the listing. Users (with the exception of moderators and authorized staff) will not be able to see this information about other users (nor will it be made public in the API, SEDE, or data dumps). We will be renaming the Favorites feature to Bookmarks. As we mentioned in the preview post, the feature will be the same as Favorites, with the name and icon updated to more accurately represent user expectations and usage. And you will be able to both &quot;bookmark&quot; and &quot;follow&quot; a question.  We hope that this new feature will allow you to have better access to the content that you care about and want to keep tabs on. Update (June 11, 2020): The user profile tab and the rename of Favorites to Bookmarks have been released.

There is a very small bug when it comes to toggling favorites.  Steps to reproduce:   Open the same question in two tabs In one tab, mark the question as a favorite In the second tab, mark the question as a favorite   Result: Question is now "un-favorited", even though both tabs show that I have marked the question as a favorite. The reason is that the front-end display is not syncing with the back-end, despite the fact that each click will toggle your selection in the back-end.  Now you may think: That's stupid. Why would I open the same question in two tabs?  Here's how I noticed it. This happens in Chrome, other browsers are untested.   Open a question and mark it as favorite Go to the location bar and enter a new URL (e.g. Google) Hit the back button The cached version of the page now shows that the question is not favorited, even though it is in the back-end Select the question as favorite (again). This will make it appear as if the question is now favorited, when in fact you have now "un-favorited" the question in the back-end. Refresh to confirm.   I realize this is a small bug, but it is a bug nonetheless.

This is similar to , except it's a bug report, not a feature request.  Currently, the nominee's comments on his/her own post are not highlights, unless you click "add / show more comments"  When the page is loaded it looks like:    AfterI click "add / show more comments", it becomes:    Could we have the blue highlighting on the post owner's comments there all the time? It becomes difficult to see the nominees responses to questions, especially on nominations where there aren't enough comments to enable the "add / show more comments" features, like Matt's.

The question is in the title, how do I sort the questions by the number of view?   If not that, I'd settle for any suggestion on how to view the "Most Viewed" questions.

Opening the menu and selecting an item from the "Favorite Sites" menu allows us to see a feed for a specific site. In the top right corner of this page is a drop-down which allows us to select the "sort order" for the posts. The default is "Active" with other options like "Newest", "Hot", etc.  The problem is that when I select "Newest" or any other option. This preference is not remembered when I change between a different "Favorite Site".  So I am requesting that the selection is persisted when changing between site feeds. I have no preference whether this is implemented per site (to allow a different default for each site) or just one single preferred default that works on all sites (last option selected). I just want it to remember that I have selected "Newest" when I am flicking though the sites.

EDIT: Summary  I think I've found the best definition of what I want thanks to the discussion with @M. Tibbits:  When I open or refresh the SO, I get a notification of new activities that are of interest to me. Today these are (hard-coded): answers to my questions and comments addressed to me. I want a bit more control over it, that's all.     Yes, I've read  and , but I think I add new (good :) ) reasons for re-asking it:  The first question was answered before this so handy "inbox" notification feature was implemented. So now using favorites for "watching" a question is wrong, IMHO, for 2 reasons:   it splits essentially the same functionality (of getting notified when there is an activity you are interested in) between 2 very different user interfaces it's cumbersome - I need to: 1) add question to favorites; 2) click on my profile dropdown; 3) click on the "favorites" line; 4) see all my favorites with recent activity; 5) select the one I watch; 6) repeat this process occasionally to get updates; and 7) possibly remove the question from favorites at the end. All this as opposed to this little red button when there are news.   Favorites are different in nature that watching. I add a question to Favorites when I find the answers useful to me in my work, so I may want to have it handy in the future. By watching an interesting question I will be able to decide whether I want it in faviorites, after I see the answers.  EDIT: I see that I was not clear enough.  I want to add a question to Favorites when:   it has some good answers the question and answers are relevant in my work I want to keep them handy as my long-term (persistent) knowledge base   I want to watch a question for short while (matter of days/weeks) when:   it is interesting / relevant I want to follow it to see what are the answers. Then I can decide whether I want it in my favorites   As you see, the main differentiators are good answers and long/short term. For short-term, automatic notification is better.  Bottom line, all I ask is "watch this question" checkbox (which may expire after say a week if there is a need to free resources)

Is it possible to view the highest-voted answers of all questions by a tag?  I know that this is already possible for questions but I can't find such a feature for answers. Have I overseen it?

Even though I got banned suspended, I'm able to mark a question as a favorite. Is this functionally correct?

Let's say I have  as a favourite tag and  as an ignored tag.  If somebody tags a question with both   and , it is ignored and does not appear in my list of newest questions.  I would personally like to see this question as it might be interesting / relevant to me.  Would it not make sense that the favourite tag had a higher priority than the ignored tag when there is a conflict?

In the last couple of days I've noticed that the homepage (when logged in), with its default filter of "Interesting" has gone from being consistently 90% questions containing one or more of my Watched Tags, to maybe 10%.  Has anything changed recently regarding these filters? Or is everyone in the web development world just having a very productive, question-free, few days?

I'd like to see a list of questions that I've recently viewed. This might go on the user page (but only for the user - not for all to see).   This would be different from favorites, as it would only be recently viewed. This would not be redundant with browser history, as it would persist across computers (so I can see at home what I was looking at from work). This would not be redundant with recent activity, since I may not have had any activity on a question I recently viewed.   Any takers?  Perhaps show recently viewed questions where the Related links currently are, and slide everything else down?

I quite often add a question as a favourite when there is something of interest to me in it or its answers. Looking back through my favourites, I cannot remember why I added some of them as a favourite.  What I'd like to be able to do is to add a note/comment when I add a favourite as a reminder as to why I've added it. This will show on my favourites page, but nowhere else - and possibly to no one else.  In addition, it would be good to be able to favourite an answer to a question, thereby adding a favourite to both the question and a particular answer with something of note in it. This would only show as a single favourite, but when clicking its link would go to the favourited answer.  Possible? Or is there another way of doing this? I've already got too many favourites to remember why I added a lot of them.

Often times I am not interested in the question so much as I am the answer. Unfortunately, the only site option for bookmarking an optimal answer is to bookmark the question. This leaves you having to remember that no the question wasn't that great, but there's an answer in here worth a million. It'd be nice to be able to favorite an answer allowing you to jump immediately to the answer that was much more valuable than the question. I understand that I can bookmark the answers link using my browser but it seems being able to favorite the answer within the site's ecosystem is useful.

Whenever I read a nice question, I used to mark it as a favorite question. Today, while I was looking at my profile's favorite section, it was as follows:    Why does my favorite count vary on my profile? Is it a bug, or am I missing something with respect to the favorite section of my profile? I marked the areas causing confusion with circle in the picture.  Kindly clarify

I was wondering, is there a way to track particular questions in Stack Overflow?  For instance, if I see a question asked that I would like to see the answer to, is there a way that I can mark that question so that I can come back to it later?
