Interesting. I agree with this. Now some boards software allow you to mark and follow the links you want to. I do not believe that this boards software has that. I'm on a board or two that you push a button that allows you to follow a thread and any time something is added you get a highlight in your threads followed folder.
I have notepad (simple text writer) on my taskbar and on items of interest on this site and others I do what you said copy paste the website address then I save the text info in a place that I choose. File Type IXC sub stuff in the IXC subject folder. VII in the VII area. MG42 info in the Guns folder sub-folder MG42 area. This way I control the who what when where of it all. This may or may not work for you.
