Not a thread, posts within the thread. For instance, there are several "discussions" in this particular thread where I want to tag things like book recommendations or recipes. And because I can't add a post to the briefcase, I have to search and search and search and hope I get close to the right pages to find it.
Of course, if there's a way to do it and I'm just clueless today, I would love for someone to point me in the correct direction of how to do so.
Have you tried saving the post links in bookmarks?
As in browser book marks? Bah. There's a lot of work in that. The way I read through this thread is I rarely read one post at a time. Usually I delete all email notifications except the earliest unread one, then click on that when I'm free and read through the accumulated posts. Adding browser bookmarks would require me to, you know, proactively do work to get the unique post linked in the bookmark instead of the entire page.
I'd rather have a button here in SCS that I can push. Because I am lazy that way.
You could save permalinks to individual posts in a text file. I can do that by right clicking on the post number at the top rh corner of the post, selecting the option "déan lethbhreac de seòladh a cheangail'" (I guess that's "copy link address" or something similar in the English version of Firefox, and other browsers are sure to have an equivalent) and pasting into a file I have for that purpose which I keep open when I'm browsing.

I feel totally foolish for posting this, but does anyone know where the touchpad scroll settings are in Windows 10?
My touchpad has suddenly decided it wants to be on a Mac, as physically scrolling upwards scrolls the page downwards. >_< Oddly, my USB mouse is working as normal, and flipping the mouse option only affects the USB mouse. It's really bugging me, as I'm not always in a place to use a mouse (like when it's on my lap, heh).
Thanks guys!

Good idea. A horse can last for 4 or 5 days on a single child.
If you haven't even tried to resolve your issue, please don't expect the hard-working volunteers here to waste their time providing links to answers which you could easily have found yourself.

That's what I'm hoping the answer will be.

That only works as long as they are living at home.

Touche. Mine still does. I've got just over 3 years left.

They do help. They aren't happy, but if needed, they pitch in.
However, we try not to overuse them, so I usually get to help my wife.

Settings -> Devices -> Mouse & Touchpad -> Additional Mouse Options -> last column on the right (on mine it says Thinkpad, for yours it'll probably be your device brand name) -> Advanced Settings -> Scrolling.
Because they really had to try hard to figure out how to hide this and complicate users' lives.

Rolled into work this morning and was wondering if it was a Saturday or if I missed a holiday somewhere...
Parking lot was nearly empty, I found a spot nearly at the end of the handicapped spots. There's all of 6-7 people in the office right now (and I'm including myself,) with the bosses all out...

I found traffic light this morning as well and half-wondered the same thing. There are some people out today, but here I am. :hehe: You know, this could be a good thing. If people leave me alone, maybe I'll be able to get some stuff completed without a barrage of interruptions. 😀

Maybe it's a phase they're going through at the moment, but I have a hard enough time getting my kids to wash the dishes, much less shovel horse poop.

Our kids are pretty good. I struggle with them doing dishes, but if we ask, they will. I just hate asking.
For chores, our kids have grown up with animals. They understand animals need to be cared for, just like they want to eat. If we need to call them, because something happens, they'll gripe and grumble, but they won't let the animals down.
