Site update: Content bookmarking system now live

Note: Article updated a few times.

Thanks to a Patreon supporter request, we now have a nifty new feature for you to use.

You can now bookmark Articles, Comments, Forum Topics & Replies. GOL Supporter "Creak" suggested it and it is a pretty useful feature so I've spent this morning doing it.

Inside articles right by the article like section, near the article tags you will see this new icon:

On Comments and the Forum, there's a new button next to the "link to this comment" button:

It turns golden/yellow for comments/forum posts you have bookmarked.

Bookmarks will sit in a new page on your User Control Panel.

It uses the same styling as the notification system, with a little cross by the bookmarks to remove them from your list.

The Bookmark system uses Javascript and will do it without reloading the page, so you won't lose anything.

You will find a quick link to the bookmarks in the user menu (click your avatar) on the top navigation bar.

I've also done a few styling adjustments (both suggested by "Creak" on Patreon):
- The article title inside an article is now a link, to make copying super easy
- The subscribe to comments button is now inside the "Comments" header bar, to save some scrolling space. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

One more thing.

The bookmark icon on a ticked button is pretty much invisible when using the dark theme.

Ah yes, you're right. I've toned that down quite a bit for the dark theme it's much more visible now.

I've also just added a dark version of the default avatar, so it's not so glaring on the dark theme :)

Wait --- what?! There's a dark theme!? It's like someone just told me I could buy my bread pre-sliced! Ok, I'll find and check that box wherever it may be.

What I really wanted to do was thank Liam for these new features and give a shout-out to Creak for the wonderful suggestion.

[Update:] FIXED! Mmmmmm, daaaarrrrk.

Small update, I've adjusted the pagination above comments to sit in the "Comments" black header bar. So instead of pagination above comments taking up an entire big line, it's a bit more compacted. Looks better :)
