Download A Whole Thread?

[Mike]

Is there a way to download a whole NDB thread without doing each response one at a time?

Re: Download A Whole Thread? *TL*

Mike,

Yes it isn't too hard either. Just change your Preferences to "Threaded Guestbook-Style Listing". When you open a thread every reply will be included in the order that they were posted.

Then you can copy and paste to your favorite word processor and then save as a reference file, or print it out for your reference notes.

I love using that view. Only minor snafu is if you hang out in that mode and then reply, it goes off the main poster, not the 37 thousand layers deep the list tends to get... then it looks like you're coming in from left field (literally) and haven't a clue what the rest of the thread said... even though you very well might have read it.

What would be really neat (incase you're ever totally caught up and bored with nothing to do John! ) would be if the threaded indented thing would show at the bottom of the thread, then if you want to reply to a particular one with the appropriate indenting it would only take one thread click... instead of going all the way back to preferences, setting them back, reloading them, then scrolling to find the thread again.

But it is an awesome way to save an entire thread in chrolonogical order. And if you do reverse guestbook style, then the new ones are at the top and you don't even have to page down unless you need a memory refresh on the thread details. ~Juliet
