    How to save the posts of interest?

    Hello. I have been a member here for a few months. This is a great site. It has been very helpful for me. There is a lot of guys who share a lot of good info and I was wondering if there is simple way to save those posts. I looked around the various pages but didn't see a method. Perhaps I overlooked it. For example what I would like to be able to do is to Save a post or the link to a great post on let's say on laser mirror alignment. And maybe another one on how to check to see if a laser tube is work. And say on how to access the ladder diagram on a Fanuc 11M control. I would like a way to go back to those specific posts. The only idea that I came up with is to send myself a PM listing those links. Is there a better method? Thanks for any suggestions. FanFan

    Click on the number of the post (or right click -> open in new tab).
    Set a bookmark to that page/tab/post.
    When it opens the bookmarks to save as, select an existing bookmark, or add a new "meaningful" bookmark/folder.

    If you use Firefox, there's an awesome add on called ScrapBook that saves entire web pages.
    You still need to save each page of posts separately, but it works.

    I just bookmark all the threads I want to revisit.

    Save it as a Notepad document.
    An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.

    Guys, Thank You for all the suggestions. I am using XP at the moment. I do use the "Favorites" ( same as bookmarking I believe?) to save new and information sites and posts. There is so much useful information out. Just the other day I had ran across a print of a laser power supply. I wished I had saved it then but I didn't. The poster of that post actually had pulled it from a previous post. Today I can not remember in which post I had seen it. In the future I think it would have been a nice reference to refer to. Oh well maybe I will stumble across again sometimes.
    I didn't know about clicking on Number post. Thanks again guys. FanFan
