Is there a way to bookmark or save threads and posts? I've looked and searched , but come up empty handed. I've been doing a lot of reading lately, but having trouble going back and finding important information.
Thanks

At the top of the thread, click on "Thread tools" and then "Subscribe to this thread"

Keeps a list of threads you are interested in.

At the top of the page click on "Quick Links" to find your subscribed threads.

Thanks Jeffen,
That's the only way I've been able to find. I was hoping that there would be some other way to save specific posts within a thread. Some of the stuff I want to save is in threads that are 50+ pages. Trolling through 50+ pages to find a handful of posts with the information I'm looking for doesn't appeal to me very much. It sometimes takes me a whole weekend to get through a thread that long, and that eats into shed time.

In the heading line of each post there is a #n number on the right hand side. This is a direct link address for that particular post. How can use that link to bookmark an individual post. For example in Firefox right click on the #n and choose "Bookmark this link" to manage it in your browser's normal bookmarks.

Thanks Fuzzie. That should help a bit.

A universal tip across most, if not all browsers that makes life easy once you get in the habit - CTRL - D will create a bookmark - it saves having to find specific menus or buttons. Just be on the right page (or, as Fuzzie mentions, the specific post) :)
