? Saving Forum Topics

When I see a thread I want to save, i just put it in my bookmarks.

 

All I do is bookmark the page and put the saved bookmark in a folder which I named OGR.

 

If you respond to a given topic, your response will be saved in your profile.  With some personal searching, you can find them again in your profile.  You will need to know or remember the original title to find it easily.  

So your bookmarking on your laptop or computer in a file created as I do.  I was wondering if this could be done in ones profile apparently not right now.

 

Yup.  Bookmarks are the way to go.  Got a bunch of threads saved already.

I tend to quickly save to the browser favorites, and load a copy of many fav.s into a separate file once I have a bunch. of new fav.s

 

You could also like the topic and then later go back into your account and it'll show you topics that you've liked.

Sounds like I'm already doing what a lot of you guys have been doing.  Thanks again for input.  You guys are the best!

 

Is there any way to do this and edit out the irrelevant or repetitive parts of the thread that you don't want?  Sometimes when a thread goes for several pages, a lot of it is people agreeing with a previous post or making some sidetracked comment.  I've done the copy and pasting of text into Word and then printing that out but it can get tedious for a very large thread.

While the bookmark ideas presented above will work, there is another way to do this that lets you save the thread directly to your computer.

 

Over on the right near the top of the thread is a link called "View Printer Friendly Format." Click that, then print the thread to a PDF file. (There are many free PDF maker programs available.)

 

You can then save the PDF file on your computer anywhere you want to, with an appropriate file name that will ID what the thread is about.

On my Macbook, after I open print, I have an option at the bottom of the print window for PDF.  Opening that window will allow me to save as a PDF.  Just an FYI for Apple folks.
