Question
-
Quite recently I asked a question in the Windows Update forum (I had very hard time finding that forum and even added it to my forums, but then removed). I now wanted to help someone here with the recent question to point to this forum, but I could not find this thread in my threads. Where did it go? Was it deleted? Say, I wanted to post an update in that thread.
So, I have two suggestions.
1. Add an ability to search within My Threads and also filter by Forum
2. Add ability to mark threads / forums as Favorites (so next time I need to ask Windows related question I would not spend ~ 25+ minutes looking for that forum).

Ok, I decided to simply go to Google.
This is the thread I was looking for
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproinstall/thread/37280d27-8ade-402b-9dc3-49157fd56ead. Idea of Favorites should work, I'll add this forum there.

You can already do both here but such a search doesn't work on Answers 2.0 yet because the index is FUBAR and because it looks as if they have changed some of the meta search term names.http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vbgeneral/thread/436c0821-e7a7-4ba6-8a0a-b34b0ec37ba6/
For marking, you can use My Alerts or just make a subfolder in Favorites for them; then you could search in there, even offline ; )
Also, when it is an important thread if you used an offline feedreader you could use its marking features.
