Is there an easy way to save a whole thread to your hard drive, without just copying and pasting the whole lot? I've just realised my recent threads about my new RS are a diary of my progress and it would be nice to save them before they fall off the end.
Thanks in advance :)

Em, maybe go into 'post reply' and save the 'topic review' thats at the bottom? Then you'll just have all the text? Won't work so well with more then one page though...
Other than that I don't think so.

If you click on Thread tools at the start of the thread and then go into printable version it comes up in a way that would make it easier for you to save.:)

And then down the bottom of that page you can chose to view all the posts on one page.

Saving the printable version works best. If you just copy and paste the whole thing, you get loads of stuff on the lines of 'Find all posts by X'. The printable version misses all that out. The thread review also copies and pastes well, but it gives you the newest first.
Thanks loads for your help :)
