Ability to set topics on-mass to certain notification levels from the topic list

Site Feedback

So sometimes when I am looking through the topic lists I see thumbnails or topic titles that I just know aren’t for me and they have no tags on them that I wish to mute since they would mute other topics. As a result I have wondered about just being able to set them all to mute on mass without needing to load them up, set it and go back.
I have also seen topics that I know I want to return to again to download or investigate further in a bit so I set them to watching or tracking. (to then bookmark them if I think, not today but maybe after finding a better video source)
Being able to apply a bookmark to a topic from the topic list would be good too even as Watching and Tracked topics aren’t find-able via your profile until they ping you.

I think this would be useful to implement as the site is slowly getting more and more bloated up with topics and new users that old topics do resurface (I’ve seen more than a few cases of topics from 2021 doing this) and new ones can easily get buried that I find out I missed them months later. (10 months in one case) I have been working with ChatGPT’s help (despite it’s kicking and screaming) to make an userscript which has this as one of the things in it though I’ve had to pause on it due to a roadblock. But I wonder about it becoming a site feature.

This is similar to this suggestion from the past though I’m suggesting it be possible to set stuff to more than just mute’ed which is why I believe I’m correct in making a new topic rather than posting on that topic:

This is a great idea.
I’m not sure it’s possible without changing code.
Will dig into.

I have often thought Id like to be able to “Wishlist” a topic, and maybe even be able to add to a “Library” for stuff I do have (with some sort of icon would be even better :slight_smile: ). With an ever growing collection it can be a small hassle to Dl something just to find out I already have it. I have been using @Dimava’s TamperMonkey Script addon he created a little while back where you can Highlight a post with alt+o, and that has helped immensely. The downside is I use different pc’s depending on my location and the highlighted posts dont sync.

@Mruno69o One of the things ChatGPT helpfully suggested was having some information be stored (via API storage) with an export function added so if you switch between PC’s you can take your data with you and due to what it is unless you got 1000’s of topics marked the size to import/export is less than 100mb. It did say though that if you were going have more than that then you are forced to adapt the script to use an IndexedDB so it can store tons more of data that make API storage a joke. Does come at the cost of redoing a lot of the scripts code apparently.
