seaduck Posts: 350 Registered: Dec 2006	posted 11-18-2010 09:58 PM Here's a dumb question: What is the best way to save a series (a thread) of forum posts? I'd like to capture a thread and store it in a file for future research. IP: Logged
Polly Posts: 1970 Registered: Nov 2004	posted 11-18-2010 10:02 PM That's not a dumb question, it's a smart question. This, however, is a dumb answer. IP: Logged
taloncrest Posts: 169 Registered: Jun 2004	posted 11-18-2010 11:16 PM Have you considered copying and pasting into Microsoft Word or such? I just tried with Open Office, a free program available on the web, and it works tolerably. I tried to save the thread on ahwt's great Rait basket, and it worked. It wasn't very pretty, but it worked, pictures and all. IP: Logged
seaduck Posts: 350 Registered: Dec 2006	posted 11-19-2010 05:19 PM Polly, you are kind, but Taloncrest has just proved that it was indeed a dumb question. A right-click 'select all' then 'copy' and a 'paste' into Word did the trick. Thank you! IP: Logged
wev Moderator Posts: 4121 Registered: Apr 99	posted 11-19-2010 05:45 PM I don't use IE, but with Firefox, you can just right click, save page as, and select "web page: complete". The html page will be saved, with a separate folder of images, and will open in your browser. IP: Logged
Paul Lemieux Posts: 1792 Registered: Apr 2000	posted 11-19-2010 06:22 PM When I want to save webpages, I use the "print screen" feature, which will copy a jpeg of the current screen to the clipboard. I paste the image in Photoshop, and for pages that span more than one screen length, paste all of the successive images into one canvas, merge all the layers, and save as a jpeg. I have used wev's "save webpage as" technique before too, but I find having to have the image files in a separate folder to be annoying and clutter some. IP: Logged
