Yes We Are All Old Now, I Have A Question

[xfiend1013]

[inserts the bit about how we're all older and have kids and how old they are and all the things life has done to us]

And it's good to see all of you! I'm actually wondering about archiving some things for later use - is there a function on the forums to say, download a thread, or have it emailed to yourself, or whatnot? Not just the link, but the content.

Without having an admin do it, and without writing a web scraper? Unfortunately not.

No clue if any of the forum admins check here regularly or not, or if they'd be willing to send you a backup via SQL or some kind of export. That also wouldn't really be "by thread," but just the whole table of posts (including moderator/admin forum ones, for example).

Otherwise, you have to do it the hard way. Maybe order some back-up Ctrl, C, and V keys for your keyboard now.

I don't know if this is available to everyone or not, but you might be able to use the "print view" feature in the thread tools. (It might just be a mod/admin tool; again, I don't know for certain.) Take note, if you can see that function, it only works per page, so a multi-page thread you'd have to rinse and repeat.

Otherwise, you can always fire it up in Chrome and do a print page function, Chrome lets you print to PDF. Again, you'd be looking at each page of a multi-page thread, so it'd be a bit of legwork, but you can at least work to consolidate everything after. *Shrug*

That's all I can recommend. A quick look at thread tools really just shows the one mentioned above, if applicable to everyone.

Confirmed it's available for everyone.

Oh hello, is this an impromptu reunion? Good to see you all!

Thanks all, I am probably just going to grab what I want manually. The reason? I really like some of the more random posts I made as flavor/set dressing for the Star Wars tabletop I've been running. We're on hiatus so I have a chance to really build up a big backlog of ADVENTURES.


It's been a blast going through the posts and recognizing just where I was in life at each point. Glad to see some of you are still checking the site sometimes! Some of these threads have a LOT of views on 'em!
