On the GOY site, is there any way to mark another user's question, other than commenting on it, so that I can see when they have been given an answer? Don't know how often I've thought, oh, I have that problem, then I lose track of the question. (Yes, possibly an age thing, but GOY is so popular now, some days I have to scroll through pages to find the one I wanted to follow). I thought 'Flagging' the question wouldhave done it, but I think that's only for reporting wrong stuff.

Flagging is only to tell the boys you think a question is in appropriate. Often a GoYer will comment something like "I'd like to know this too"

I think I'll just have to comment as Moon_growe suggests. For example, a GOYer called geranium_gem asked a philadelphus question recently, but searching for philadelphus, just doesn't show that question (I don't think). I jotted down the user's name so I can look this one up, but don't always have a pen and paper handy.
Possibly something the admins could consider, a 'follow this question' button perhaps?

I do this some times and say as MG said I "I'd like to know this too" or "I want to follow this as its an interesting question". then it will appear on your home page every time someone makes a new comment.

I do this the same way as Drc and that works well.

The only way I know of finding a question that you haven't commented on is to keep a record of the type of plant and then do a search on it, or you could keep a note of someone who has asked or commented on the question and then find their pages and trace it that way.
