Quake3World.com Forum Favorites System
The Quake3World.com favorites system works like this, in the cookie that stores your username and password, it will add data on your favorite forums, then it will customize the forums bar and the forum summary page to YOUR needs.
What do you have to do to get this baby working? Simple, goto the forums summary page, http://www.quake3world.com/forums, you'll be greeted by the normal page:
Note two things:
The screen will look pretty much like that image if you don't have your cookies set, if you do, it'll include a "Welcome UserName!" in the bar, to set your cookies, goto the Preferences page:
There's also an option for auto-refreshing topic-listings and forum-listings so you don't need to keep hammering that refresh button 
Once your cookies are all set (note, that the "Welcome UserName!" will not appear till you have made one post with cookies enabled and refreshed the forums bar), it's time to play with those favorites 
Find a forum in the listing that you visit regularly, and click "add", the page will refresh, then click the link in the top corner for "Set Your Favorites", you will be greeted by this screen:
Check the boxes for the favorites you want, and hit submit. You'll be sent back to the forum summary page.. but nothing seems to have changed? Close down the browser window and open it up and head to http://www.quake3world.com/forums, and hey presto:
You have a customized forum summary page and a customized forums bar with "Hop To:" links to your favorite forums 
Now, if you ever want to change your favorites, the "Set Your Favorites" link is available in all forums and the summary page 
I hope this makes browsing Quake3World.com that little bit easier for you.
Enjoy!
