Saving a copy of a multi-page thread?

[BrianMDelaney]

Tim, or anyone who might know:

 

Is there a way to save a copy of a multi-page thread, without saving each post, or page of posts, separately?

 

Thanks,

Brian

Basically, I'd love to have an electronic copy of this great thread:

 

https://www.crsociety.org/topic/11488-cold-exposure-other-mild-stressors-for-increased-health-longevity/

 

If someone else already has made one, you could also just send it to me (president [at] the current domain).

 

Thanks!

Yes, saw the other thread. Also very helpful!

 

RAADFest was as expected: lots of fun, and educational. There will be good summaries up on the web reasonably soon, I expect. If I see any particularly good ones I'll link to them here. I'm definitely going again next year.

Dean P.  made a PDF copy of the "Cold Exposure"  thread at one point.

The file is too big for me to send with my normal email service.

I could try some other means if necessary.

 

There are simple ways to "print  to PDF",  I believe, but I haven't looked into it.

Sibiriak, thanks.

 

Could you use DropBox or Google Docs or something?

 

Or you could skype it over to me (brianmdelaney), perhaps?

Brian,  I sent you a personal message.

Thanks, file received!

 

I'd still like to know whether there's a way to save a whole thread in one stroke. There's probably a back-end way to do it, but grabbing data from a database, by that would require asking an admin every time one wanted to get a copy of a thread.

 

(Note: I can never receive personal msgs. The message-loading circular thing keeps spinning, and the msgs. never load.)

I'd still like to know whether there's a way to save a whole thread in one stroke.

One VERY THEORETICAL method is to change - temporarily - "Number of posts per topic page" from 20 to 700. I don't know if that would blow something up.

 

This thread suggests print-to-pdf of each page and merging:

[this link requires a login!] Pertinent portion:

You can print each page, and merge the prints... There is a print option in the share links at the bottom of each page.

 

There isn't an export / print option for an entire multi-page topic, though.

 

I'm not aware of what software does the print merge (while maintaining text search).

I've seen that in Firefox from time to time so I click on the down arrow by my log-in name and navigate to "Personal Messenger".

 

I like Firefox but suspect it's becoming the red-headed stepchild of browsers and often might be third or fourth in testing and development of pages.
