Is there a way on LQ to list the posts that I marked helpful (with the "Did you find this post helpful? Yes" link)?

It would be a great way to find back all these many interesting/useful ideas, tips and tricks I learned some time ago while reading LQ.

I looked around for this function but maybe missed the obvious.

Thanks in advance

While you can use the advanced search to find only threads marked as Solved, there is currently no way to search only posts which have been marked helpful.

Thanks for your reply. And sorry for posting in the wrong forum - for me, up to now, LQ was only the slackware forum!

I understand that the function is not available, so I'd put this as a suggestion:
-- Add a 'My Useful Stuff' in the 'My LQ' sidebar linking to a page (or sequence of pages) with all the posts _I_ found useful, in reverse chronological order (most recent at the top).

Benefit: it would keep track of the useful gems I found while reading LQ. I reckon it would be a nice addition to My LQ: 'My Posts' is what I said, 'My Useful Stuff' would be what I found useful/interesting.

This requires to keep for each user a list of what posts they have found useful. Of course, if there is no such list and no table storing the "user A found post B useful" relation in the LQ DB today, I guess it could be a big deal to implement this feature...

Thanks for reading this, and BTW many thanks for LQ which is a great resource!

Thanks for the feedback - we'll keep it in mind for a future enhancement.

I'm seconding that

Some members would find such a feature useful, but with so many members and so much activity, I am assuming it would add a level of resource-using complexity to a board that is already very large and complex. So an exercise in cost-benefit analysis will be required.

Also, I am certain a few people would find such a feature useful, but would most people? The OP made reference to finding posts he/she found informative. I have always copied information and added it to my collection of notes. I mention my habit, because I doubt I am the only one. In fact, I assume it is common practice. So how beneficial would such a feature really be? Conduct a poll?

you can try to sum up those helpful clicks and sort by that number. That would not require "additional complexity".

I find myself subscribing to threads I want to remember (without posting).
Seems a clumsy solution, there must be a better (lightweight) solution out there somewhere.

I know there's a few add-ins that will allow users to see "Reputation Given", this would achieve what the OP is looking for.

I just use/keep a http://pastebin.com/ account to keep track myself on what is useful to me.

One learns to help ones self when living in the desert.

A text file in /home/user name/docs with urls and a short explanation will accomplish the same task
but I like being able to access certain text files online from my different hard ware.
