While I was searching some of my old posts, I came to this: http://community.mybb.com/thread-83736.html . It was Uncontrol's idea, but as there was some time today, so I decided to write a plugin.
The concept of the plugin is based on gmail's feature where we can select an email (i.e. Bookmarked) to read it when we've some free time.
The plugin is still on testing phase, but I like to share the Previews of what I've done so far;

The mechanism of this plugin is simple, You (as a Admin) can select which usergroup can Bookmark threads. When those users visit on Forumdisplay (Thread listings area) they'll see a "Grey" star indicating that they would have to Click on it to select that Thread as Bookmarked. (I've added a Mouse Hover description to the star images as well to understand the use of those stars). When they click on the star, the URL passed to another page where some sql commands do the Bookmark thingy. After that, the system will redirect them to the forum where they've Bookmarked that thread.
Now they'll see a "yellow" star, indicating that they've Bookmarked that thread. Similarly, they can click on it, at any time, to Remove the Bookmark from that particular thread.
The aspect of this thread is to know any features, ideas or useful suggestions to add it to the plugin. I'll update this thread when I release the plugin.
Now, I've added UserCP Box as well where users can see their Bookmarked threads
