Isn't copilot some flavour of gpt?
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.

    Liu, you have a new bike every time I see you. The last time it was a green 400 ninja wasn't it? I remember thinking it looked like a tiny child size bike, but then I suppose "sports" bikes are all a bit like that. I still have the same '04 Transalp but am receiving increasing displeasure from the wife about riding it so is likely to be sold in the near future.
