You could just highlight the required text and copy, then paste into a word page or notepad

If you click the post number (yours above is #1) in the blue bar immediately above the post in question, that post opens up in a new window. You can book mark that?

EDIT: Looks like you can't do that here sorry.

I use OneNote to keep a running spares list as well as a list of things I need to change/test. It syncs my phone with my work and home PCs, so whenever I come across something I think is worthwhile, I chuck it in for thinking about later. There are other apps for phones that do the same thing, I find it invaluable as I can never remember what I was supposed to remember

Isnt the easiest option to just subscribe to the thread?

[Made2FadesGirl]

i could do this,however it means going through the whole thread to find the one reply i want,not too bad if there is only a couple of replies,but some go on for 3 or more pages.also im not sure how long the thread would stay visable once its been closed.thanks for the sugestion though.adam

[Made2Fade]

Fair comment if its a particular post that you want to reference.

Personally Ive never felt the need to do that and found as long as i can easily find the thread then finding a particular post doesnt take long at all.

If you wanted a certain page then it can easily be bookmarked or a shortcut to it on your desktop or in a folder

To go that suggestion one further, you can create subscription folders. That's what I do whenever I have a few threads I want quick access to. Once it's created, when you subscribe to a thread, you'll be asked which folder you want to use.
