Thank you! This will come in very handy in the future.

As I understand this, I can use the Bookmarks feature to flag a thread that I want to come back to later. Example, if I wanted to do some research on some stats before posting, I could just bookmark this and come back to it when I have the data?

It also means I don't have to save bookmarks on my computer as they are managed within my profile on the site, giving me access on all of my devices.

This is GREAT!!!

Yes sir.

There are a few options built in. You can tag them, working off the same type of idea as the prefix filtering system, and split between sports, different stats, etc.

Play around with it...
