Dave - Would it be possible to have the star feature allowed for an entire thread?

I ask because there are some threads that I love and often refer to, but sometimes it takes me awhile to find these threads. I don't like adding them to my Firefox favorites because my Firefox settings have gotten wiped out from time to time, so I loose everything I have in my favorites folder.

I've often needed that, too, but there is a very simple, one click work around:

First star any post in the thread, just as you always would.
Once you revisit your starred post, just click on the thread title:
Thumb of 2015-11-19/Leftwood/472a3e

Some other forum sites default to going directly to the post and within the thread. This would be optimal, but for those with slow computers, loading the entire thread needlessly could take extra time that impatient users won't like.

Rick - Yes, I have done that too. But sometimes I have to check several starred posts before I find the right thread it is in. I just thought it would be much easier to simply star a particular thread that I like, so that I would be able to go directly to the first post (instead of the last post or the starred post) to start reading again. I even thought of having separate folders in the starred option. One for posts and one for threads so I could quickly find exactly what I am looking for.

This suggestion is just one of those ideas that I think of every time I have to go through my starred posts. I was thinking it would be a great feature to have the option to star an entire thread to make finding something much easier and faster. I guess I am spoiled because ATP runs so effortlessly for most features. Thumbs up

Why not just star the first post in the thread?
