I just bookmark them in my browser or add them to the “To Read” list in iPhone.

Welcome!  You can click the "follow" button at the top right; then, when you want to read it again, go into your profile, where you can click "manage followed content" to see all the posts you have followed.  Or, if you prefer, you can bookmark a post in your browser, just like you save anything else on the internet.

You can "follow" them here, but then they might get buried if you follow a ton of threads (like me).  I have bookmarked some on Google.  

I wish I had started this from the beginning but I have a spreadsheet with tabs and I pasted the links for different things in there. So I have a tab for online Spanish classes and I copy information in there and some forum links, etc.

Over the past seven years or so there have been a couple board changes that have affected the links for the threads.  I am not sure what would have happened if I had bookmarked those on Google.  I sort of wish I had printed some threads as pdfs and saved them in a folder on my computer.

Hello, I’m new to this forum. I’ve found several old posts that contain book lists or good information that I’d like to come back and reread, but I often have trouble finding them again. What’s the best way to bookmark these so that I can easily go back to them?

Thanks!

I make a screen shot of the pertinent information so I can refer back to it as needed. I usually do that for interesting quotes or a summation I know I'm going to refer back to quickly. All of my screen shots save to a screen shots folder (not the default desk top location), so they don't eat RAM. If it's books on amazon, I click them and save them to appropriate wish lists (by grade or subject). If it's web pages, I save them to pinterest. 

I used to save links, bookmarks, etc. I think you'll find with time threads disappear, which is why you're better to save the information as a screen shot if you really need it. 

Also consider using google board searches to recover information. So say you really want to remember what LoriD's reading lists were, you can type into your google bar "LoriD reading list site:welltrainedmind.com" and boom get all kinds of stuff.

I make folders in my browser. Every so often I clean up: Subdivide them into new topic folders or deled them if they are not relevant any longer.

Hello and welcome to the forums. Like others said I often will follow a thread I'm interested in. However, if it's a book list, recipe, or tv/movie recommendation thread (we have a lot of those) I usually just copy what I want to save and paste it into a document on my computer. I have a folder called WTM recommendations and sub folders inside for recipes, streaming shows, etc. That's the best way to be sure you won't lose it. If you don't mind it possibly disappearing in a board update following the thread and then just going to your content to see it works fine.
