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

[JohnT]

Why is it that if you search the archives, the "show printable version" feature works, but if you just browse the archives, it doesn't?

[Kuciwalker]

Only you would have noticed this...

[JohnT]

Well...

But still... why?

[Robert]

Why would anyone want to print a thread?

[JohnT]

Not print... save.

Answer the question, dammit!

Both!

[MarkG]

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

[Robert]

How many are busy hacking the scripts? I mean, on this site....!?
