How to print long threads?

Molanole

Hi there

Just wondering if anyone could let me know how you go about printing a thread of many pages (the wedding tips thread). It's so long I find it hard to read it online but really want to be able to read it on the tube.

Whenever I try to print it out I can only do one page of posts at a time and the thread is well over 50 pages. Does anyone know if there is a way of printing the lot in one go (i.e. not having to open each page and print seperately) or is it this way because of copyright/intellectual property stuff??

Thanks in advance.

If you look under Thread Tools at the top-right, there is an option to Show Printable Version.

At the top-right of the printable version is an option to:
Show 40 posts from this thread on one page

I don't think there is a way to get it to print out more than 40 at a time

Would it be easier to look at the Archive version as I think its more than 40 posts to the page on there?

You're right!

Luckily that thread was at the top. Wouldn't like to try and find other threads in there though - It orders them by date first posted rather than the same order as on the board.

Now I am so impressed by myself that I knew something that sra didn't know but has someone just changed this as we posted as now when I look at the Archive for This Site, this thread is up on page 1 and it shows how many answers are against it :eek:

and this is my second attempt to post as the site has just gone loopy!

There's a bit at the top-right that says 'PDA'.
if you click that, it reverses the order the threads are shown and tells you how many replies there have been.

Once you've clicked that, there seems to be no way to see the other view except by deleting cookies.

I think I remember it being said somewhere on vbulletin.com that the archive was just an extra thing they put in and it hasn't been developed - which is why it's got hardly any features

Thats really quite weird as the Archive never used to look the way it does now. Generally you had to go to the last page on a board to find the most recent threads and it didn't used to say how many replies had been made to each thread.

Not complaining guys, I like it

Ah sorry sra, cross posted. First time I went in to check before I answered on this thread I clicked on PDA cos I didn't know what it did
