I don't like when one day I am contemplating answering a question, but then I reach my question limit or I want time to think about it, and forget to favourite the question. Then I go back the next day and I don't find the question! I am sure many other Stack Exchange users would appreciate a "follow question" option. It would be nice if we could "monitor" our favourited questions from our inbox, eg. "So and so has added a new answer on your favourited question" or "You favourited a question 1 minute ago". Or, it could be included next to the "Recent achievements" section in the top left-hand corner, making it easier to access, instead of looking through our profile. Can we make this happen?

    Could you explain why the "Favourite" functionality doesn't do what you want? It allows you to find the question more easily -- what other benefit are you looking for?

Any of your favorite (starred) questions which has had recent activity will be highlighted in yellow on the "favorites" tab of your profile page.

    Like much SE functionality beyond the basics, the favourites tab is so hidden as to be useless to most people.

    @AndyT The favorites tab is right there on the primary profile page (http://english.stackexchange.com/users/nnn). It's not hidden, though the page is pretty dense which makes everything on it a bit obscure.
