Hello,
It would be good to add to profile links to posts you are following. Now there is no way (at least I could not find it) to read the post again if you closed it.
Thank you!
P.S. may be somebody already asked for similar functionality but I was not able to find it via Search...
That's an excellent suggestion. In the mean time, I'm sure that you are saving links to pages of interest as I am. However, it is easy to forget to do so. I find that a google search with the unique word quantopian along with appropriate keywords works reasonably well.
I also agree it's a fantastic suggestion! We are working right now on some improvements to the community (search included). I don't think this idea will make the current cut, but it has been requested a couple times previously, and I'll add your +1 vote.
Speaking of search, I also use a Google search to find threads, but restrict it to the Quantopian domain. Try it out!

This works nice too within google to search a particular site's contents
Ex)
site: quantopia.com lists of posts
Thank you guys for feedback!
I actually know about all these search tricks. But I am personally consider Quantopian as some type of research environment and Quantopian community is the core of this research. We have forum, we have historical data, we can share code and notebooks - all is almost here! But it would be ideal to have more functionality in profile - like the way to store links to interesting posts or ideas. You can add algorithm which was shared by someone to profile - but it would be great to add the thread as well - because algorithm is much more valuable with people's thoughts and so on. Now I have lots of algorithms in my profile and I have no idea why I have added them. And sometimes there are some variations of one algo in the post - should I add all of them? Not realistic...
I have seen great ideas which I can re-use in my algos and the ideal would be to have a way to manage those ideas for the future - some ideas you can try right now, but some you want to try later and it would be even nicer to leave some type of tag or comment why you liked this post/algo/notebook.
So there can be lots of ideas how to make Quantopian a better research environment. For now I can use third party tools like Evernote or so but this is all workaround....I know that you have lots of features on the table but adding just list of following post to profile would be a great improvement for small amount of work in the direction to make Quantopian a great research environment.
Thought, I may be wrong about 'research environment' idea - may be Quantopian thinks about itself as something else (don't know, maybe a hedge fund which doesn't care how algos are born) - in this case 'research environment' is really not a priority, I can get it :)
Anyway, thanks a lot for great product you are working on!
