I haven't tried to save anything to my briefcase since the website rebuild. I was looking at a post and it had some code I didn't want to lose track of so I saved it to my briefcase. I was waiting for the popup with the title and tags to save and it did nothing. No prompts like the old functionality. No indication that it actually saved anything. I looked in my briefcase and searched for the title of the forum post and could not find it. If I went back to the post the button finally changed from save to briefcase to remove from briefcase, but I certainly can't seem to find it. Is this the new functionality for the briefcase (I hope not)?
Search also didn't have an option to search just my briefcase. I had to search the web page using the browser (Chrome) find dialog.
Thanks,
-Tom

I know it doesn't help but the new site killed everything that I had in my old brief case. I've given up saving anything I want to keep.

Well, lookie there... I've not checked my briefcase since I first discovered that everything was missing. It would appear that they fixed it somewhere along the lines. I agree that it does appear to be missing some of the functionality that the old briefcase had, though.

Well... it's partially there. Lot's of posts I'd saved are missing from my briefcase so still not trusting it anymore.

I can add things to my briefcase (articles, posts, etc.) and they stay, but a test account has some issue. There is a flash when I refresh the briefcase and I see the post briefly, but then its gone. My guess is some visual style sheet is removing it from the page.

Bug filed.
