From time to time I come across forum posts on Geekzone which are gold to me, but I may only refer to from time to time.  I'd like the ability to 'save for later', and when looking at my GZ profile be able to see this list.

No intention of creating something like this at the moment but I use Pocket for this kind of feature.

What about adding the ability to email a post or thread as a compromise?

freitasm: What is the user experience flow here?

For email?

Means the user has a copy of the thread, post in their email in box. Rather than having to sign up to some other random service like read it later or pocket .

So if they then want to send it to Evernote or just store it they can.

And if mostly existing functionality where saving bookmarks is quite a departure from what is currently offered (discourse servers have this functionality though)

Sorry, you mean a full copy of the thread in the email or an email with the thread title and link to it, that the user can file away?

The contents of the post or thread is probably of more What is useful I’d say it was some instructions for something.

The OP request is for a bookmark feature. An email copy is way more than that - it brings problems with moderation and how to ensure things that are objectionable are not sent out to everyone. Also as soon as content goes out spam filters go into overdrive.
