I'm demanding this because it's clearly very important!

Pony request: being able to favorite comments from the Recent Activity page?

Sometimes i'm refreshing that page often enough, on a slow work day for instance, that I don't need to click through to the thread to have read every comment in it. In these cases, it would be much easier for me to simply favorite the comments I like/want to come back to from the recent activity page.

Sure. We already have them on profile page activity, I guess we could add them directly on the recent stuff page as well. I'll put it on the to-do list.

Uh, how about seeing when an answer is marked as best answer? It's done in 'My Comments', but you've got to click through to see it in 'Recent Activity'.

That'd be great.

Awesome. Though I had gotten pretty good at clicking the time in the comment I wanted to favorite, clicking the plus, and then hitting the backspace button.

Luckily, quin, you'll still be able to do that after this pony is implemented.

Both suggestions should reduce bandwidth use on both client and server sides. I think that's a good thing.

3rding philomatholic's request, though mathowie will need to come up with a different style for "your most recent comment". Right now, it uses the highlighted box that's the same as the style for "best answer."

In My Comments, it's designated by a little green check mark. So, he could do that in Recent Activity with the best answered answers and not have to change the highlighted-style.
