I like to print some of your threads and keep them in a folder for future referance. What I need to know is how to print selected replies with out printing everything. I know that if you hold down the left mouse button and drag it down you can select what you want to print. But how do you select reply two skip three and four select five skip six print seven ect. Thank you

You can't. It is JUST a web page. You can selectively copy/paste into a word document and print from there.

But, there are ways to do it. You just need to put in a lot of wasted time and energy. Use a 'Desktop Photo' software program that will let you take snapshots of your computer screen. (Like "MW Snap" / freeware) It can take a square or rectangular jpeg (or other format) of any portion of your desktop. Take snapshots of the exact portions of the screen you want. Then piece the jpegs together (to look like one big picture) using a photo editing program (they will be jpegs the same size as original image), then use 'Desktop Photo' to take a picture of that and print up that picture on plain paper, then destroy jpegs, if you are afraid of wasting memory. It might be just as fast to type up the whole thing though. But if you want the exact look, then the above is one long way to accomplish it.

Use CNTL printscreen on the web page and then paste it into your favorite word processor. Delete out the stuff you don't want.

Me I just save the word processing doc with a name that will help me find it later. No need for paper.

Maybe this will help. Goto "edit account" on the top of this forum window. In there is a preference for either "threaded view" or non-threaded view". Threaded view will give you one message per page. Thus, you can save a particular post by saving the webpage to your HD or print just that post by going to the print command all located under the file menu item under your browser.

I wonder, is there a way to "mark" a thread so that if needed I can find it back?

Nope... but you could always add it to your favorites.

Too bad, it would be a nice thing, thanks anyway.
