I know RSS feeds are already talked about but I would like to add the following about Permalinks.

How to use AARP Permalinks

The following information will tell you how to use AARP Permalinks also known as Permanent Links.

While in a forum discussion you find a post you would like to go back to in the future you can click on the Permalink icon out to the right of that post.


The page will reload and key in on that post.

You can then add that post to your favorites to return to at a later time.
What I did is I created a folder in my favorites for these Permalinks and named it AARPPermalinks. Click on Favorites then Add to Favorites and save the URL.

So if you find a post/reply with an answer to a question or just something you think you would like to return to in the future you can create a permanent link back to it by useing the Permalink and save it to your favorites. You can also rename the URL (right click and choose rename) so you know what it is about.
