The Nitty Gritty

Automatic bookmarks

All content you create is automatically bookmarked:

• If you email a comment in to a particular forum topic, that topic will automatically be bookmarked.
• All topics, calendar events, and classifieds listings that you create are automatically added to your bookmarks.

Deleting bookmarks

• Go to my bigtent > bookmarks.
• Check the box next to each bookmark you would like to remove.
• Click "Save changes" at the bottom of the page. 

To change how you are updated by your bookmarks:

• Go to my bigtent > bookmarks.
• Choose your desired notification option on a per-bookmark basis. 
• Or, click "Edit settings" to change your default bookmark settings.

If there's been an update to one of your bookmarks, you'll always be notified with an alert in the Greetings Box. You'll also see updates to any of your bookmarked items on the "my bookmarks" page, at my bigtent > bookmarks. Content in your bookmarked items that is new or has been updated will be marked with a "new" icon.
