Default Can you save a thread post somewhere

Pardon my technology ignorance but is there a way to save a post.
I have read several "how to " posts that I would like to keep for reference - can that be done?

There are a few ways:

- Links to a lot of the "HOW TO" topics are in the Stickys

- You can SUBSCRIBE to the thread and have access to it as long as the thread is on the server

- You can print the thread or post to your PC using a free utility such as WIN2PDF

I'm sure there are many more ways, but this will get you started

I copy the pertinent portions of a post, including the pics, to a Word file and then save it. Have gathered thousands of documents on the C5 and now on the C7 for future reference.

I use Microsoft OneNote. You can save part or all of a page from a post. You can have different folders and subfolders. It has a decent search function. It saves links to the original posts. Decent tool.

All my email files (different ones like Verizon, mail, etc.) have potential for creating file folders w. names. I do that, such as, "C7-Splashguards" and then copy a post, an entire thread url, and the date into an email to myself for that file folder. Then, I file it under that folder. I've got literally dozens of posts, threads, etc. that are my technical, go-to resource library. Works for me.

If you use the Opera browser there is a 'notes' section where anything you highlight will go there easily...I like that feature because you can save the pertinent portion of a long paragraph easily. The Word suggestion above probably does the same thing.
