You can 'remember this thread/post' by adding it to your profile. A kind of backdoor way of creating a shortcut to it to find it again more easily at a later date.
Simply go to any of your posts within the thread, edit one of them and you will find under the 'user' heading, a little box to tick (click on) listed as 'Show in Profile'.
BTW This can be done whenever you post a new post, and need not be done later as an edit.
Sometime down the track if your memory is getting hazy, simply click on your profile (your own user ID), and you will find the thread/s listed there.

Another trick is to simply copy and paste relevent items (eg commonly used HTML), to a word document. Whenever you open Chockstone and feel like you may need the reference, then also open the word document. You can easily switch from one to the other with keystrokes Alt/tab, and copy and paste as required from the word document.
Watch out for the " keystroke though, as sometimes it does not mean the same thing in 'word' document as it does in HTML.

... If you use HTML enough you will eventually learn it off by heart.

You can also slowly educate yourself by replying to posts containing HTML and noting its usage and what effect it had on the original posts. These things can be copied and pasted to your word document also, as short-cut reminders for later usage.
