Can a multipage thread be saved in one fell swoop for future reference? Or does this have to be done one page at a time? Thanks!

I was wondering the same thing. The only solution I have right now would be using CutePDF writer, which presents itself as a printer and save it page by page as a .pdf. Then use a .pdf page combiner to stick them all together as one .pdf.

Yep, that would eliminate the need for weird browser formatting years later if you saved to something like html...

Admins have the ability to change the number of posts shown on one page. You could ask for them to show 100 (or however many there are in your thread) temporarily and then PDF or save as HTML (in Chrome), then they'd revert.

Perhaps if that isn't too much trouble...

I could probably make that happen for ya. Would need to look at the back end of the site to figure it out. Let's coordinate a time.

Yessir. It's my Euro Thread. I wanted to catalog that for future reference and I think some friends and family might like to see the highlights.

Justin - don't sweat it! I've been going thru and copy/paste into word where I can fine tune it and pdf. I didn't think a copy/paste would work, but the pictures do come!
