    Actually, I see what I think you really mean. I'm talking about accessing a permalink that you can bookmark in your browser or whatever tool you use to keep links to interesting things. You're talking about bookmarking within coderanch? Yes I believe that would be a feature request.

    On the desktop view there's a teeny folder icon next to the "posted 1 hour ago" that is a link to the post within the topic.

    It's not super obvious, but it's there.

    I've found the Horstmann books to be excellent. Just the right mix of information and opinion to get you going with the right things in the right way.
