Hey @sizzlingmokeys just some things to consider:
You can use bookmarks in your browser to save posts. Also if you're using the eSteem app you can bookmark posts using that.
If you'd like to recognise the authors efforts after the 7 day voting window has closed, why not send them a tip?
Tipping is still a great way to reward the author as they will receive 100% of what you send them.
Hope these are useful.
Thanks for the helpful suggestions, @elliotjgardner!
