Default OT: How to save a discussion thread url?

At the risk of sounding completely stupid, how does one identify and save to browser favorites the url for a specific thread displayed on the discussion forum?

There are several DIY Rennlist threads that I would like to save to my web browser favorites, but when I click on "Favorites" and then "Add to Favorites" all that gets added to my favorites is the Opening Rennlist Forum web page and not the thread I want to save to my favorites .

I know it's possible because folks post urls for other threads within threads all the time....I did look at the FAQs but didn't see anything I recognized as addressing this question.

TIA...

Terry

Click the number just under the "display mode" drop down box on the right hand of the screen. That will open the post in a new screen that you can save. Just click the link on the upper right to open the entire thread. That's the way I have saved numerous threads & posts in my bookmarks for future reference.

The problem is that you're browsing the forums with that annoying pane on the left, because you navigated thru http://forums.rennlist.com/. Instead, simply navigate thru:
https://rennlist.com/forums/ or
https://rennlist.com/forums/993-forum-58/

so then if the pane on the left is gone, you'll be able to save url's correctly.

That's what I do. I have https://rennlist.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=58 in my favorites, so I never go through the front page anymore. I hate frames.
