I had suggested this a good while ago. I think it's a much better representation of how an article was received by viewers than the current system.
But I think changing the voting system requires some not-so-minor changes to the code. Once the .NET re-write is done, maybe we could persuade Chris to add this feature

Hi
I set 50 per page. This is working fine after pressing Set options.
But each time when I sign in, it is displaying default value as '25'.
It is not saving what user changed or saved earlier.
My suggestions is that it is better to save all options/settings so that user can use the same settings next time.
What do you say??

Harini,
Set Options are stored in UserCookies, I believe.

This is probably not a new idea, but it would be great if users could bookmark specific posts or replies.

Nope. It isn't a perfect solution, but Marc set up a wiki a while back that we've been using for this purpose. I even wrote a GreaseMonkey script to automate the process:

You're getting too predictable, I read the original post and just knew what you were going to say

You can get a static link to a post using the "Get link" link at the bottom of any post.

True. But it would be nice to have a posts analog of the article bookmark feature.

Imagine the extra rows it would add to the database.

Well imagine if we all started bookmarking things. Take about 50,000 members and times that by all the thousands of posts. That is a lot of rows on anyones scale, it would be slow and laggy if you didn't stick some decent hardware behind it.

You only need one row per bookmark, which is a (USER_ID, POST_ID) tuple. This scales in a linear fashion to the number of bookmarks.

This is similar to my suggestion of favorites which I recall you thinking was a good idea.

Just today in forums, quite a few messages had interesting and useful utility download URLs. I felt this can be brought as some 'Quick CLIPs'. To save, you can limit number of URLs per user.

This will happen.

The forum search appears to search all HTML associated with a post, not just post bodies. For example, searching for "bookmark" brings up every post and reply.
