A question about the Archives and the "show a printable version" feature...

[DarkCloud]

Not print... save.

Answer the question, dammit

Do what I do then, go to FILE: SAVE AS: SAVE AS HTML- then you'll have the thread saved on your computer without any of the icons and the extra filespace they take up.

believe me, it works- I have over 400 megabytes of apolyton on my harddrive and CD's

...and why would you want ???

Not for the grand-kiddies, is it?

but what if the thread has more than 75 pages....!?

[DarkCloud]

What thread has more than 75 pages? Apolyton limits threads to 500 replies... and you can view with 30 replies to a page or 90... I view with 30 and the longest thread I've seen had 16-21 pages... and that's more than manageable.

But printable version has everything on one page. Saving one page is by far more managable than 21.

I think he means - or could mean - the picture thread.

So, you have to visit every page on the thread and save the source. That's not "easy", is it?

BTW, if anyone is interested, I know a way to show 1000 posts in one thread
(unless Markos has token that 'ability' away)

confirmation: yes, it's a bug

technical information: for efficiency reasons archived post are stored in a separate sql table than normal posts. our grand lord hasn't hacked all php scripts that were afected by this change though

fixing the bug has been added on my to-do list

By "fixing the bug" are you:

1. Making it so that none of the archived threads can be "shown in a printable version"?

or

2. Making it so that all of the archived threads can be "shown in a printable version"?

Do you have your preferences set to show all 500 posts on the same page? Can you even do that? (JohnT takes a visit to the rarely-seen "control panel")...

[Robert]

It's not possible to set it to 500 posts per page, the normal way.
But you can tweak something, and set it on 500 ppp

pm me if you're interested

[JohnT]

Done.

[Robert]

here's an example on how it looks like when you put it on '1000 posts per page'

[JohnT]

Sweet. I just figured it out. Thanks, Cybershy!

Why would anyone want to print a thread?

Actually I used to do this a lot when I was working abroad and didn't have access to the internet from "home" (the hotel I was staying in). DOn't tell my old boss!

SOme threads (e.g. Vel's strat. threads) were well over 100p when printed.

Would this be a way that would get you banned, or not?
