Is Anyone else obsessive about saving DU threads?
My bookmark list is huge .. I'm thinking of some ways to make my own archives.
.. If you are a DU thread pack rat, how do you handle it?

:shrug:

2. That's an obsession with me also.
And I didn't realize they'd all Go South when the new DU2 software went in place. (OUCH!!).

So now I have another HUGE collection of bookmarked threads. The problem is that with this new software, I can't seem to be able to add my own descriptive comments. And, as many have noticed, the subject line is sometimes confusing or even deceptive.

3. That is a problem.
I would love to categorize them so they make more sense to me. Other than that, yes, I have too many. I had never thought of burning them to disc. Good idea and a good way to categorize them a bit better.

4. Saving to disc is an option
One thing I've started doing with other web pages I want to save is using my MS Outlook, and using send page option, it saves the entire page to an email draft which I can organize by category in Outlook.

That will probably be the first step.
