Default Saving threads

I get daily updates of new threads via email. I don't have any immediate issues I'm dealing with, but occasionally see a thread I'd like to keep handy for just-in-case later. Rather than do a search, which can be tedious, I'd was wondering if there's a way to bookmark or save a particular thread.
I've not been able to find a way to do this on my own, so am asking the group.
Thanks.

You can always save the thread into your browser, whether on a phone or computer.

I save the page in a folder in bookmarks. I label it what is relevant to me.

I subscribe to threads without email updates then go to my subscribed threads when needed.

Bookmark that page, or subscribe to the thread.

On a computer with Windows, using Opera browser, while looking/reading the thread, right mouse click on the thread and select "save as PDF". Send it to a pre-made set of folders according to type per attached. In Chrome, right mouse click and select "print". The next dialogue gives you a choice of printing or saving as PDF. In addition, using a free version of YTD video downloader enables you to download instructional videos from Youtube - one at a time. Soon you will have your own reference library.

Thanks, I use Firefox on a Mac. But I'll try the Bookmark to Browser and Subscribe to thread methods and see which one works best for me.
Thanks again.

I have the email updates turned off as it can be annoying.
I think default is that every thread you post in also subscribes you so it can wind up being a lot to dig through if you're looking for something specific.

On the top right of the first thread, there's a drop down menu for thread tools. You can select "email this page" and the web form lets you create a subject and enter any message and it'll email you that along with the thread link. You'll have access to it on any device where you check your email. You can also make a subfolder in your email to drag or automatically label/save the messages for easy sifting.
