Isn't that something provided by your web browser? :)

no, chrome doesn't allow bookmarking individual posts (see screenshot), unless you open the individual post first (not just the thread!) in a new page and then bookmark that;

However, the resulting browser bookmark for the individual post is not very useful as it'll just contain the link (eg https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/4041 or https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/4041#25172) named after the thread (eg no information on the author of that individual post):

Worse, it's not searchable.

Here's my use case:

in nimforum search, I want to search this query: bookmarked:true # search all posts / threads I bookmarked bookmarked:true "openArray" # search for "openArray" filtered by all posts / threads I bookmarked author:bob bookmarked:true "named return value" # likewise, but filtered by who authored the post
