I'd like to save some of the great threads (like Rarebit's screenshot and ask-a-dev ones), but without doing it page by page.

Is there a way to do this?

And there's me thinking you had the answer.

I'm waiting a a reply from management reguarding if we can have archived pages somewhere of topics of interest to us. As soon as I know more I will post in this thread. I don't expect a answer till the middle of next week thats a guess though

I'm doing the following:

  1. Got to My Profile
  2. Scroll to Preferences
  3. Change Preferred Page Size to 50. Now you'll see 50 posts or threads per page instead of the default of 15.
  4. Open the thread you want.
  5. Right click on the page and select View Source or View Page Source for Firefox.
  6. The page's html code will open in Microsoft Notepad.
  7. Save it as a txt file anywhere you want. Name appropriately.
  8. Since you can only see 50 posts at a time, when you get all the pages/ posts you want, copy paste them to one notepad file.
  9. View as webpage by opening with web browser.
