Yes, only on BYC.

That's o.k. it's easy to learn. I just picked something random, but look at this article. See at the top next to the "watch", there's a little flag - that's a bookmark, it will drop down and you can "bookmark" that article to save it. You can create labels if you wish so you can search your...
