If you're using safari, you can click the book on the toolbar, below the address bar.

Then create a new folder or link and pop it in there. It will automatically save the page you're on, when you click the book x

Your post was moved due to other topics already on this subject. I think Glad/Dark are merging posts that are similar to keep the forum looking neater x

Until people start putting the date in the title of the thread as YY/MM/DD then you can't sort by end date correctly.

All the current sort will do is list all those that end 01/MM followed by 02/MM, which is fine when the date is say 01/03 but a bit useless if its say 20/03 and you then need to search through all the pages.

Not sure how you are sorting but thread title ascending puts them in day order and it doesn't usually take more than half a dozen clicks to find a date, for say the 20th that's going to be someway along, took me 4 page clicks to find the 20th and 2 more to get to the first of them.

Even if the date order was YY/MM/DD a "sort" would still mean clicking through pages to find the date and month you want.

If threads were dated YY/MM/DD then sorting ascending will mean that today's date would be first, followed by tomorrow, then the day after etc. Regardless of what the date is (10th, 20th, 29th etc), you will always see the comps ending today in this way.

Yes you would have to click a few times for a specific date but I assume that is not how end date compers work, they want to see the comps ending today and changing the date format would quickly allow that.
