Hi all

Just want to know the best way to save a post or mark it for future referece if I ever need it. I have read some great stuff on this site and would like to book mark it some how or organize it so I can find it easily with out spending hours thinking " I know I saw that somewhere... but...


Thanx

Sure, pick "Subscribe to this thread" out of "Thread Tools" in the top bar.

Hi Sunkist,

I find the best way is to goto THREAD TOOLS in the menu above your post and select SUBSCRIBE TO THREAD this will then take you to your profile page where you have an option in the drop down box to be notified if any of your favourite threads get updated, this can also be switched off, then click on QUICK LINKS in the menu bar and click on SUBSCRIBED THREADS, this will show you all your threads you have 'book marked'

Thanx Hephaestos

Another option is highlight the text, then right click and copy, and paste it to a new document (notepad is good) and file it away for later, I often use that method for saving a tut or handy tip. Wayne

In Internet Explorer you can save as:
web archive, single file .mht
This saves the text and graphics in a single file. I'm afraid that you havn't got that option in Firefox.

Didn't know that. Much better than all those pesky little folders.
So early in the day and I've already learned something new!
Thank you.

Great tip. I've spent way toooooo much time searching for a tip or technique I know I've seen on this site.
I just saved something as you suggested but when I open it with WORD I get gibberish , well actully I think it is HTML, My guru son is in Hawaii so please tell me how to see it in English. Thanks again. This tip will be a great time saver when I learn how to use it.

You need to open it in Internet Explorer, I also found an extension for Firefox that does the same thing, (Mozilla Archive Format 0.4.3)

AHA That works. Thanks.
I have been hearing about Firefox. Are users happy with it? Any complaints???

[vinniesworld]

I really like Firefox myself, tried it once before while it was still beta and didn't care for it. With all of the security holes in I.E. I decided to try it again. Once you get used to the tabbed browsing and learn some of the keyboard shortcuts, it would be hard for me to quit using it. Here's a link for the keyboard shortcuts: http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/keyboard.html
You can also get optimized build for your computer, AMD, Intel P4, etc. at this location: http://www.moox.ws/tech/mozilla/mdefs.htm
I'm using the M4 build and it does seem faster.
Later,
Vinnie
