This is probably not a new idea, but it would be great if users could bookmark specific posts or replies.

Nope. It isn't a perfect solution, but Marc set up a wiki a while back that we've been using for this purpose. I even wrote a GreaseMonkey script to automate the process:
Forum Bookmark 0.2.5 - bookmark forum posts on Pensieve

It appears that everybody is under the impression that I approve of the documentation. You probably also blame Ken Burns for supporting slavery.

You're getting too predictable, I read the original post and just knew what you were going to say

You can get a static link to a post using the "Get link" link at the bottom of any post.

True. But it would be nice to have a posts analog of the article bookmark feature.

Well imagine if we all started bookmarking things. Take about 50,000 members and times that by all the thousands of posts. That is a lot of rows on anyones scale, it would be slow and laggy if you didn't stick some decent hardware behind it.

You only need one row per bookmark, which is a (USER_ID, POST_ID) tuple. This scales in a linear fashion to the number of bookmarks.

This is similar to my suggestion of favorites which I recall you thinking was a good idea.

Just today in forums, quite a few messages had interesting and useful utility download URLs. I felt this can be brought as some 'Quick CLIPs'. To save, you can limit number of URLs per user.

The forum search appears to search all HTML associated with a post, not just post bodies. For example, searching for "bookmark" brings up every post and reply.

Reason for searching for that term?

Search does only search HTML of the post and of the subject. I just did a search on bookmark and came up with a thread about bookmark posts/replies, and then a whole bunch of Shog's posts with "bookmark" in his sig.
