Printing individual posts

I think it is useful sometimes to be able to print individual posts (eg. where a post is a detailed answer to a question) without printing the entire thread.

Can this be accomodated in Microsoft Forums?

Hi,
Providing a print post button on each post would be a good solution :)

Great suggestion. We also had a similar suggestion of "mail this to myself". Would that be a viable alternative? I can definitely see the need to be able to easily reference. Obviously, we don't want to clutter up the interface with too many options, so I'm trying to get a feel for what would meet most people's needs.

If the mail option sent the entire thread (not just one message) there would be no advantage in it for this purpose.
I'd have to copy/paste the message I want into a different document to print it, and I can do that from the web browser as easily as from the email client.

Gotcha. Ok, we'll capture this as a potential feature. Thanks for the feedback.

It would also be convenient to have an "E-mail to Friend" feature. With a feature like this I could e-mail a link to myself or to my friends for consideration. I would think that a feature like this would promote participation in the thread as well.
