Printing a complete thread?

Posted by: ynwa250505 on 17 May 2018

I can’t find this capability anywhere - it seems to only be possible to print a single thread entry or am I missing something?

Peter, I've never tried to do this so i thought I'd investigate. There's a Printer friendly format button, but it only seems to work on a single post or reply rather then an entire thread. 

I'll ask Hoop La.

Thanks Richard - it would be a very useful feature, particularly for offline analysis/review of the more technical threads.

Peter, it seems to me that if you right click on the page (double finger click for mac) then you get the option to print the page.  The forum then automatically formats it so you  print off the entire page of just posts and replies.  

However, I'm still waiting to hear whether there's a way to print all pages of a topic in one go.

If you have a printer that will print over WiFi from an iPhone, it will print the full thread, although it won’t print multi-page threads in one go.

OK, it looks like the way to print off a long thread is to go to the last reply and underneath you can set the page to show up to 200 posts per page.  So 200 posts is the limit per page per print.

Thanks Richard - that should be good enough. Fortunately, I will never feel the need to print the EU thread lol ...

I feel desperately disappointed................

For anyone interested, I have compiled the entire thread into a Paperback Book - Vol 1; available for the princely sum of £999 incl postage in the UK only (extra for postage to the EU)

Surely you're going to price that in Euros, Don? Resurrection would expect nothing less.

Footer from an email I received from Naim a little while ago:

”Please consider the environment - do you really need to print this email?”

I think this point might reasonably be applied to forum posts too, let alone entire threads.

Don - given the volume of paper you would have to be providing it would good value, in anybody’s money, at twice the price ...
