My Favourites
As the level of info on this site is now immense, I really struggle to find threads that i know exist. They are there, i just cant find them.
Is there anyway for each user to create a favourites list that could perhaps appear on request. I realise that I could just create a "favourite" in explorer but I would rather keep it all contained within the site.
Any thoughts Martin ?
ThanksDuncan

I think this would be a great idea. Or a Subscribe to list (so you could have an list of all the articles you've subscribed to) this would be different to the 'receive updates from this post' Bodsys Brake Bible

why not just book mark them as favorites in which ever internet browser you use, you can always start a new folder and add then into that if the list opens up and flows off screen forcing you to scroll!!Experience is a difficult teacher, because she gives the test first and then the lesson afterwards!!!!

What does iGoogle DO?
Apart from take over my Mozilla Firefox that is, banish "proper" Google into the undergrowth, and slow it down to the point where I have to use IE8.0 to find out what's going on...
Firefox (v5.1, not the known problematic 3.0 in the FAQs**) is now so slow it doesn't work for me, and I get a "Google Software Updater.job" appears in my Scheduled tasks, no matter how often I delete it, creating a 20 minute update cycle which upsets the AV software every 20 minutes.

I agree with the O/P. Would be nice to have a list of subscribed threads please
Would also be nice to have a "Thanks" button for the numerous occassions when a helpful post is received. Would cut down on post counts in threads as well. I've seen this on Detailingworld which is my other main haunt and I think it's a good thing.
That's not to say that this forum is bad though, definitely one of the better ones from what I see out there. I also use portable firefox so the favourites go with me on a memory stick but the list is growing, ahem, rather large. I guess there's too much good info on here
sounds a good idea, I can never find posts on old Tech issues, I suppose Wiki is the real answer but who is going to transfer the info.

Off topic from "Favourites" but the wiki could help answer a lot of questions that folk ask if it was structured differently. I think the problem is it's done from the point of view of folk who already know alot about the D3.
As well as direct links to information on each system it would be good to have a "fault finding" link that started with symptoms and pointed people in the right direction:
Some examples would be:
My D3 is vibrating:
Wheel balance
Damper weights
EPB binding
My dash lit up like a Christmas tree:
Brake light bulb
Battery voltage / connections
Something serious - call LRA / good indie / buy a faultmate and take a week off
Smoke from the D3:
It's winter - post this question on the forum for a helpful and sympathetic response!
D3 is on fire. Call 999 then read all about the HP fuel pump recall you didn't get a letter about yet
