Bookmarking

[oldhudson]

Is there a way to bookmark either a thread or an individual post here at SSV? TIA

a tread is just a web page, put it in favorites just as you would for any web page.

a post - not that I am aware of

You can also print the post or the thread to a pdf if you wanted

I have a Mac, and use Bing, don't know it is the same on a PC but I just highlight the link and move it to my bookmark tool bar.  It worked, so I assumed I could have put the link in any of my bookmark folders...

There are several ways to bookmark a thread...

1. In your browser: Press the Ctrl key and simultaneously press the D key (Ctrl+D) this will bring up a  New Bookmark window. Select what folder you want to save the bookmark to, or create a new one. Then press D.

2. In the top of your browser, you should see either an option for "Bookmarks" or "Favorites" - different browsers call them different things. I use Firefox, so mine are called Bookmarks. If I used Internet Explorer (IE) it would be called Favorites. When you select the option, follow the steps as in option 1 above.

3. On each response in a thread on this website, you should see "Quote" and "Bookmark". The Bookmark option can be used to save the beginning of a thread or an individual response. It is not saved however, in your browser, but in your profile on this site. Once you click the Bookmark link, you are presented with a pop up window and can select Public, or Private. Public bookmarks will be visible to all. You can name the bookmark and give it some detail information. To view your site bookmarks, at the top right corner of the webpage you will see your name and a down arrow next to it. Click the down arrow and select "My Bookmarks".

Hope that helps

I don't see the bookmark option.  This is what my page looks like, where is the Bookmark link?

The bookmark function is available to SSV Patrons.  It's a handy way to bookmark forum threads and gallery pictures or Pattern Library patterns.  Here's a post that has a little bit more info:
