Saving Threads

[KDT]

Anybody know the best way to save threads ? I get a lot of good info on this site and would like to make a favorite folder to save all the threads that I can use at a later date instead of doing a search for the topic.
Thanks Keith

I save pages as a MHT file, saves 99% of pages ok.

I used to save it using the HTML or the HTML archive format and it never worked flawlessly. So I switched to printing them all to PDF format. You can do this for free with CutePDF. The fullblown Adobe Acrobat isn't needed.

ETA: Woops, yes, I meant Cute PDF and NOT FTP.

That is a really good idea.

CuteFTP is not free

I don't know about that, but PDF995 is free if you can live with the advertising.

How about an easy way to save threads with multiple pages?

If you click the reply button, you can save it as I said above. Of course it will save it with a reply box open at the top, so it looks sorta dumb :lol:

I think he meant to say CutePDF.

It is free, and the last time I used it it had no ads.

EDIT (forgot to mention): printing to PDF is my favorite way of saving web pages, though if you're saving a thread you do indeed have to go through every page.

That still will not show the whole thread, it only shows the last 20 posts.

Of course I picked a thread with only two pages, I'll try harder next time

For saving the forum pages, you can simplify them for archving by clicking the:

Thread Tools-->Show Printable Version

Then I click the link at the top of the page: Show 50 posts from this thread on one page

This is a useful thread and I would also like to save others as well. I tried the Thread tools> show printable version ( did not see "show 50 posts... button, maybe cuz there isn't 50), then File>Save As (pick or create folder where to save), then pick .txt format, and save. Checked on file... nice plain text, easy print...and bonus: the thread number (to make future search real easy) is right at top of page!
