    You can always just bookmark the answer - it has it's own "link" link. Commented Jan 22, 2011 at 11:49

    @ChrisF that's true, but i would be more handy to have it right inside StackOverflow rather than managing bookmarks in the browser. a lot of favorites i mark at home and use it at work. and as my company blocks almost everything i can't even use bookmarking tools like del.ico.us and co.

  • @gsharp, see my answer for a workaround to the problem... it will lag your favorites for up to a month, but it is better than nothing. Commented Dec 13, 2011 at 12:28
  • @gsharp In addition to everything that everyone mentioned here, (which is awesome btw and should be implemented ASAP) I would also love to see the ability of adding my favorites into custom defined lists. For example, I can add two of my favorite STL questions to a custom list which I would name "Questions regarding STL". My suggestion is very similar to the 'Circles' feature in Google+ and 'Custom friend list' feature on Facebook. Commented Mar 17, 2013 at 3:46
  • @ChosenTorture unfortunately my post is over 2 years old and nothing has do be done so far. I guess it's not in the priority list of the SE team. Commented Mar 20, 2013 at 15:49
  • I think that personal tags or notes would be the solution to another request as well. See meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2322/… Commented Mar 18, 2014 at 8:44

    @ChrisF You can always just bookmark the answer. Yes, but favorites get highlighted when there is new activity, and regular bookmarks don't. Commented Mar 18, 2014 at 9:15
  • Sorry to necro this, @ChrisF, but I would really love to have more ways of organizing my currently 1263 favorite/bookmarked questions in Math.SE. At least by tags, so I can find them when looking for material for my courses :-) Commented Sep 3, 2020 at 18:52

    Does this answer your question? All (or some) of my bookmarks or saved posts seem to have disappeared! What happened? - Using Sonic's canonical. Commented Oct 8, 2022 at 4:12
