Chris I saw the similar effect just now after deleted my duplicate answer

I found myself wondering, today, why I have made such an infrequent use of the bookmark facility on CP: I'm having to constantly re-search for certain articles that are often relevant to cite/link-to in answering questions on QA. But, I couldn't come up with any excuse !
But, the thought after that was that it would be useful to view search results sorted on "most bookmarked."
Actually, the most interesting thing I can "dream of," vis-a-vis bookmarks on CP, would be having public access to other user's bookmarks, but that's probably something that would involve a privacy issue, and implementing a mechanism where the bookmarker could chose, per bookmark created, to make that public or private ... well ... who knows how much work that would create for CP, or whether that would really be valuable to a lot of people ?
However, the final thought, re bookmarks, was that within a given discussion forum, or QA, if I could see posts sorted by most bookmarked, that could be quite useful, perhaps as useful as seeing the already provided info about ratings or votes.
Just some more ideas to throw on the fire.

Every once in a while I want to search for a message I posted a while back.
Shouldn't there be the ability to search among them from the "My Messages" page?
|
|
|
|
|
Is putting your name in the search box (along with your search query) too much work? 
|
|
|
|
|
|
Is that on the "My Messages" page? Would it really do what I want or will it also include messages that mention me?
|
|
|
|
|
Just do it from the "Search" bar in the top right there... it probably will catch things that mention your name... but will mostly do what you want...

That's not good enough.

Yes princess...
Just do what thatraja suggested then. That does exactly what you want... but the search is a fast way to do it.
|
|
|
|
|
And where is that? I've tried the advanced search before, but it didn't work.

Follow the link he posted, it's on the bottom of the list of check-boxes (second-to-last).
|
|
|
|
|
What about in the future? When I want to see my Messages I go the My Messages page -- I should be able to search My Messages from there -- otherwise what's the point of the page?
|
|
|
|
|
Well, I can't speak as to the purpose of any page... since I don't work at CP... I'm just a willing contributor 
|
|
|
|
|
I agree. I've added a search box to that page.

Solution - don't visit CodeProject when you're using a Kindle Fire.

Sir, no sir! Not using Kindle Fire and not visiting Code Project are not options. Nots to you.

We'll be getting a Kindle in the office for testing as soon as they are available in Canadia. Until then, welcome to the world of Android fragmentation.

Nice! I'm curious, is this a company purchase, employee purchase, or are you able to get a free one from Amazon for testing purposes? Also, do you purchase all the popular mobile devices as they come out?

Usually we hang out and dumpster dive looking for devices that users have returned because they can't find the on button or stylus. We've also experimented with pan-handling "Sir - could you spare some change for a [insert gadget]? OK sir, have a nice day", and in rare cases Sean breaks out the mankini and then comes back with 3 or 4. Occasionally the pan-handling backfires when people get nasty and curse, spit, or try and offload Blackberry Playbooks onto us. It's Christmas! Why so black-hearted?

LOL! I'll take that as a no comment. You may want to replace Sean with Jean for better pitching.

Maybe I could accompany you on your next outing, and I could "compel" people to donate.

I don't want to have to wipe down any devices I review.

The node arrows towards the end of a post thread don't appear right for those last few message threads in the Kindle Fire.
