Hi @AmyWoollen - I oversee all of York's provision on FutureLearn, and was wondering if you would be OK with us using your words for general promotion of this and similar courses? I couldn't have put the element about a community-feel better myself - that's just what we were looking to achieve here!

@FraserTodd I'm afraid that's just how the platform works with no workaround... but feedback I can certainly pass back to the developers, so thank you

Iain Barr replied to Elisabeth Watkins
Hi Elisabeth - the bookmark is a relatively new feature on the platform. Bookmarking is a way of saving comments without making any public recommendation of them (that's the main difference between bookmarking and liking). Your bookmarks can been seen in your Activity tab.

Hopefully, that glossary link should now be working as intended
