  • Saving Your Favourites

    If you click on the title of a post, you will be taken to the archive copy of the text, where there are many options:

    "Print this post" -- creates a printable screen
    "Add to Favourites" -- See below
    "Related Posts" -- other posts that are in some way similar
    "(Visited N times)" -- Started Jan 5, 2010

    If you click "Add to Favourites", the software sets a cookie on your device. This cookie is quite harmless; however, it saves a list of your favourite posts on this site. Up to 99 of your favourites will appear on your computer only, in the list to the right, on the device that has the cookie. Note that favourites saved on one device will not be favourites on others, and that clearing your cookies will clear that particular device's list.

    I am not sure about this, but the favourites list should work, even if you are not a subscriber. I know that it does work for subscribers.
