Is there a way that I can save the "threads" that I am interested in to my computer?

If there is, I have yet to figure out how to do it.

Thanks, Jamie

Jamie,

You can highlight the entire page and copy it into a word, txt, or local htm document but I think the simplest way is to simply go to "File" and then "Save As". This will save the entire page to your local drive.

If you're going to use the "File - Save As" technique as Chris suggests, make sure you change the 'File Type' to ".mht" so that it is saved as a SINGLE file. If you save it as a ".htm" or ".html" it will save it as it was designed so multiple files and can be very messy. The ".mht" file format is very clean and neat and you can rename the file to reflect the topic.

The cut and paste into Word or whatever word processer is good too but more tedious.

Awesome! It worked! I just saved this page! Many thanks, the paper trail I have accumulated from printing the threads is just too cumbersome to continue that way.

Thanks Again, Jamie
