if you copy the thread and paste it to a notepad or email, you can delete the parts of the thread that you don't want. but i'm not sure why you would want to do that when you can bookmark the thread or copy the url. when you save pictures from the QB, it is best to name them so you can go back to the thread they were in or give credit to the original poster. when i save such pics, i name them starting with the date [year, month, day] it was posted, then put QB for quiltingboard, then put the member name... ex: 20140416 QB QuiltnNan. that way, i can always find it again.
