question Saving Threads/post

[Conway]

Is there a way to save a thread/post without replying to it?  I want to save some old threads without having to bump them.  Possible?

Are you looking to get the updates to the topic without actually posting to it?  And also be able to find it easier in the future?

 

There is a "Follow Topic" button on the right side.  You can follow and unfollow there.

 

 

And then you can click on your username at the top and find "Content I Follow" to find all topics that you are already following

Well kinda.  I want to be able to save/follow topics that I've searched for.

 

Example:  Earlier I was searching for shifter rebuild threads.  I found a couple that would be useful.  I'm looking for a way to save those, so I don't have to search all over again.  I did see the "follow" option, I clicked on it, and then went to the "content I follow" section.  I didn't see that particular thread in the list.  The only threads in my list are ones I've started or replied to.

 

 

Edit:  nevermind Steve, I see some of the threads now in the content I follow section.  Not sure why they didn't show up the first time.

Content I Follow is a search. We rebuild search indexes every 15 minutes, so delay might be there.

keep copies of all the threads you like locally on your computer.  browers tools, save as, go.  i have a big folder of threads for reference.

Ah yes, good idea.....
