LarryEA Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) There are posts (topics) I want to save and reference later. Like a week, a month or a year later... Will someone please give me instructions as to how I save a post link address or whatever for later referral. Thank you all...... Merry Christmas Edited December 23, 2016 by LarryEA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyred Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I will copy the text and a link into a word processing program. Then I will save it as a document to a folder which contains other information on the same topic. I usually put a reference to the original post in the document in case I want to see if more replies have been made to it. The hard part is remembering where the copy is stored, which is why I use a folder for each topic. Several related posts can be put into the same document. You can also make notes in the document.

JimErn Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I use the browser options menu and print the whole thread to pdf, then save that pdf in a tips folder. If you do not have a pdf printer installed, goggle for free pdf printer, cutepdf is one that I know is free and works I dislike bookmarking since sites often get redesigned, or purged of old posts.

Travis Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 In the upper right corner of a post, you see what looks like a sideways "V" next to the post number. If you click that, a popup will show up with the post URL You can copy and paste that into a document or whatever. You might want to add a description next to the URL so you know what it links to.

CharleyL Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I like to copy and paste into a text file and then save it into a woodworking tips folder. There are several ways to save URL links, but I have discovered that these sometimes fail to bring back the information that you saved the link to. Websites frequently delete posts after a period of inactivity. I lost information from this website that I posted back when I first joined because of this. I tried to reference it in a newer post, but couldn't find or link to it. I'll stick with copying and pasting. It's the safest way.
