Since I have been on Mahalo Answers I have seen some excellent Questions and Answers... (more details below)

... will we be able to mark questions and/or answers as favorites? I have caught myself wondering where I saw that great answer to that great question the other day. If we were able to mark questions and/or answers as our favorites, we will be able reference them again for any re-search projects we would be working on!

Also, once they get the search feature to work on all of the site and not just the questions, it will much better.

Thoughts?

Not that you need yet another person agreeing, but demanda's point is also great.

Right now I just try to remember a few words from the question and pray that firefox can figure out what I want when I start typing in the URL bar. Something built into the site would be far more elegant.

Along a similar line of thinking I think the profile page would be more useful if when you clicked on helpful answers it only showed you answers that were marked as helpful and not all the answers. I agree that for the statistics everything should default to helpful, but I want to review which answers a person marked as helpful. It would be even better if it had the number of times it was marked as helpful next to it.
Asker's Rating:
• Both you and demanda gave great answers!! ;)

This would be a cool feature, but why wait for it? You could easily bookmark the questions you like today in your browser (or the many bookmarking services), and then come back to them later. Just because there is not a feature built into the site, does not mean you should not do it, or figure out a way to do it.

I really like that idea. There have been several times that I have thought about a question/answer that I had come across and liked but can't find it after the fact.

I think it's a fantastic idea. Some MA members answer really thoroughly, complete with facts and figures. I think adding a Favorites or bookmarking system under MA like that would really make the most of those people's efforts.

I completely agree! It has crossed my mind before that I wish there was some way I could go back and see all the answers I have marked as 'helpful'.
