Is there any way to save threads in stead of going back and trying to find the thread at a later time? When I need the information later it gets flustrating to try and go back and remember where the thread was. I have printed off a few things, but with all the information in this website, I really would like to try and save a few trees!

Re: a way to save threads
If I find a thread of particular interest, I e-mail the hyper-linked title of the thread to myself and save it in a folder. For example: a way to save threads
I simply copy the thread title (already hyperlinked) paste it into the subject line of my e-mail and paste it again in the text body of the e-mail and send it to myself. Once it arrives in my inbox, I move the it to a sub-folder labeled "Meguiars".

Re: a way to save threads
To expand on what Mike does, I bookmark in a folder by category. For example: threads about products go in a bookmarks folder named Products. Procedures or Techniques in a Procedures bookmark folder, etc. All folders are in a main folder named Detailing. I also have Business, Tools, Supplies and other folders for all the sites, pages and threads having to do with those categories. It's easier to save a bookmark than it is to search again for a site, product, tool, thread or whatever that you've already taken the time to find once already.
As with anything you do on a computer, backup often and to an external disk or drive if possible. If your PC crashes or your browser crashes you may lose all your bookmarks. The new version of Firefox seems to not save new bookmarks after closing the browser session unless I go to: Bookmarks>Organize Bookmarks>Import and Backup>Backup>Save before closing the browser. I've read others are having the same problem.
