<p>For those of you who use Firefox, how do you save a CC thread to your computer?</p>
<p>I used to use Internet Explorer and if I wanted to save a particular thread, I just clicked on File/Save As. The thread was automatically saved into its own folder named with the thread title. Simple as pie.</p>
<p>Now, though, in Firefox I don’t see the same options under File. There’s “Save Page As”, but that doesn’t accomplish the same result. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Can’t you “Bookmark” it? Or is that different since I’m on a Mac?</p>
<p>Usually I’ll just bookmark a thread I want to read later, but you can save a page as html or a webpage using the “Save Page as Feature” that way if you don’t have access to the internet you can still pull up those pages. As far as I know you can’t save a whole thread, just one page at a time. You can, however, adjust your settings so that there are more posts on a page.</p>
<p>Bookmarking is probably what I should have been doing all along, now that you mention it! When I saved the threads in IE, they only saved the posts that existed up until the time I saved. Anything that was posted later didn’t appear when I reopened the thread. That usually wasn’t a problem because I don’t usually save a thread until it has nearly run its course. It never occurred to me to use bookmarks on individual threads since I only ever used them to bookmark websites.</p>
<p>Man, do I feel dumb! Thanks, you guys :D</p>
<p>You can also open a ton of tabs and when you shut down don’t shut down firefox, just save & restore and it will reopen all those CC tabs right were you were- you can be days behind on a long thread and keep it open all week ;)</p>
<p>mathson always opens a jillion tabs right before we go on cartrips.</p>
<p>For College Confidential, you can subscribe to a thread via individual emails and get them sent to a Google Mail account. Google Mail threads by default and cc sends the post text so you can read threads in your email account when CC email isn’t broken.</p>
<p>You can also read it offline if you use their imap server with an email client.</p>
<p>Oh, I like that idea, too, BCEagle- thanks!</p>
<p>You can also subscribe to a thread with “thread tools” in the top right corner of the thread screen. All threads can be viewed again with options in your control panel.</p>
