Using "search" and ? regarding downloading the board
2 Questions:
1. When I use the search feature of this board and get mulitple results, is there a way to save the search results? If I follow one result I can't
return to the result page - I have to do a new search. Is there a work-around for this?
2. On a recent vacation I had about 10 minutes of internet access per day. Is it possible to 'download' the board to my hard drive so I can scroll
thru the posts? I'm assuming this is a 'no' but thought I'ld give it a try.

Can't answer #2 for ya, Santiago....
but as far as #1, why not open in a new window the link you want to read? That leaves you one window with the links open at all times.

Per Natalie's suggestion, it's what I do as well. You can open a brand new window to look at the search result item, or with Firefox, IE 7, etc, you
can open in a new tab (which I tend to like even better). To do so (with a PC), perform a single right buttton mouse click over the link - and then
make your selection (new window, new tab, etc) from the menu that pops up.

The ultimate answer is I don't
know. However, I don't think this will be possible, as the information for each different post/thread/etc resides in a database, not an easily
downloaded page, etc. To get all the info, you'd have to access all the pages and save them locally (manually) I would imagine.

Of course! I just did it by right-clicking the link and selecting "Open in new window".
Now why didn't I think of that...........
