BUG: Can't unbookmark viewed things

After you've viewed/completed something (either a workshop or a course), there doesn't seem to be a way to unbookmark them anymore, as the card view for these don't contain the bookmarking 'star' icon, nor is there any bookmarking UI on the full pages for them.

I often bookmark things to make a list of future things to watch, so once I've completed them, I'd want to unbookmark them.

I have found a workaround, which involved live editing the code for another (not yet completed) bookmarked entry and changing the slug in the 'upin' DELETE URL request, but that's completely unintuitive.

Hey... do I get points for that workaround? :)

I agree, Joost: Why is there no un-bookmark option? Seems elementary. Could you explain your workaround a little better so I can un-bookmark several of my courses too? Thanks in advance!

Eric Butler: From the bookmarks section, you have to have at least one entry that still has a star icon to unbookmark any entry. Right click and inspect the element (in Chrome) and find the unbookmark link that starts out like this in the Elements tab:

<a class="unbookmark" data-method="DELETE" href="/library/ux-basics/unpin" rel="nofollow">

Doubleclick the href to edit it and swap out the string between library and unpin with the slug from the course or workshop you want to unfavorite.

So from http://teamtreehouse.com/library/framework-basics, it would be framework-basics.

Hit enter when you're done and now you've live edited the HTML. Now just click on the unbookmark icon again as usual. I'll actually unbookmark the new course you referenced.
