How to save an entire community thread

Is there a way to save an entire posted thread that I am not a part of? I read one with incredible information and responses that I'd really like to keep and learn from.

1) Bookmark


2) In Firefox "Save page as" to get a web page structure (this is an "export" type function). In future to view just drag the .html file to a browser and it will use that and its associated folder to rebuild the web page from what is on your computer.

or

Print (select PDF)


3) Unless you want all the avatars, pixtures and pretty structure, simply command+A for Select All and then drag to a text editor.

Safari > File > Export as PDF

There is no export function, if that is what you mean. You can always bookmark it in your browser.

+1 on bookmarking. Unless removed for cause, posts stay here in perpetuity even though the forum's internal search function only "sees" back about three months.
