1) PRINT SCREEN then go to paint - then select paste
2) top of page - select file - then save as
3) select quote (that post) - cut and paste into notepad

Download and install CutePDF (free)

Then on your browser go to print select CutePDF as your printer. Hit print and you will have a PDF format of the page.

Another method I use to save information when there's no images on the page is to

Select: Thread Tools > Show printable Version

Select File from your web browser (I'm on Firefox)
Save as ... select Web Page Complete.

It's in my opinion a quicker method... plus you end up with a direct link to DK's web page if you want to check later on for any updates to the thread when online..

If there's images on the page that you want to keep, then it's just a click on image and save image into the same folder... :)
