Minerva Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Do you have any suggestions about how to save or organize forum pages for future reference? There are lots of discussions I can see wanting to reference at some point but not yet. For example, I just saw a question about Logic Stage read alaouds for ancients. I am not quite ready to digest this information but will be soon. I know I will lose or forget about it without a system. Any suggestions for this disorganized mama?

underthebridge Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 There is an option to follow a thread. If you are on a mobile site, you have to go to the full view to see it. It's at the upper right corner. You can view all the threads you follow under your profile, I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergath Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 If I know I'm going to want to read something in the future, I save the page to my computer. You never know when a thread is going to go poof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel Mertz Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I "follow" a thread (usually taking the immediate option rather than the digest option). When an update to the thread arrives in my email, I move the email to a folder for the subject (for instance, in your case I would make a folder in my email labeled "History, Ancient"). I have gmail, so I don't know if this works in other email providers (you could always get a free gmail account for this purpose). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I use Evernote specifically for this reason. You can copy the whole page into Evernote and it will save it forever. If the page is ever removed from the website, you never lose it! After saving, you can tag it with as many categories as you like that you create, for example, "high school", "history", etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertflower Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I'm old fashion and paranoid because I use all of the above except for evernote! :) 1. I save to pdf on my computer 2. I follow a thread and move the email to another folder. 3. I also print them out and put it in a binder with tabs as dividers. Science, robotics, logic, etc. (Of course, I don't always get around to printing them all out.) Hth! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Click "follow this thread" button. To access later, click your name and then "content I follow." You can also save the thread in your favorites list on your computer. ETA: Most topics come up again and again. You can find many related threads just by searching specific forums for words likely to be in those threads. So, search the logic stage forum for the word "ancients" to find logic stage ancients information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minerva Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Thanks for all of the suggestions. I definitely can find something that works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
