@AnonJr Sometimes your questions are so specific that the potential list of SMEs who could assist are very limited. You're basically running the risk of never getting face time with them without a bounty to bring your question to prominence.
I just did that and it works, but I think for most people who offer bounties ... they are real important things they are trying address and there should be some easy way for the bountied questions to be located.
If I create a bounty on a question, I'd like the ability to easily locate the question in my profile. If I asked the question a long time ago based on my activity it might not even appear on the Activity tab as asked.
