Ask HN: how do I save a HN story?

6 points by dewiz ↗ HN
Hi,

I found this fantastic thing in my profile that is "saved stories" (http://news.ycombinator.com/saved?id=yourNick) and I hoped that that was the list of all upvoted stories... but it is not.

I have no idea how I "saved" some stories and I could really use a list of upvoted stories as a sort of local bookmark. I often find cool articles which I need to go back weeks/months later, but they're almost impossible to find.

Any help appreciated, thanks!

Any story you upvote goes on that list.

I upvoted dozens of stories, however the list only shows 10 stories which are also very old, none of recent voted stories appear on this page.

You aren't the only person having problems:

Thank you mz. Looking at the other thread I wondered if perhaps all the stories I upvoted were killed, but that's highly improbable. Either it's a bug or I don't have enough karma to use this feature ?

I have no clue what is causing it. I am not a programmer and I really don't know enough about the rules here. I just remembered the other similar post and happened to be able to find it because I happened to post in it. Maybe someone more qualified than me can help you figure it out.

Best of luck.

The URL in the OP works for me and some of the stories that show up are marked [dead].

Same thing happening here. I have only 23 saved storied, latest is 28 days ago and I sure have clicked alot more stories, also thinking I have saved them for further reading. Also would like to know if its a bug or karma thing.

[edit: 28 days ago]

I think there's a difference between a story you want to save and a story you voted for.
