Title: Archive a Member's posts?
Post by: Quantus on February 28, 2013, 02:02:07 PM
Is there any way to archive a member's posts?  When I want to Archive a specific thread it is easy because I can just hit the print button and it gives it all in one nice long page.  But when we are talking about the posts of a particular member I havent found a good way to do it yet.  It has crosses my mind before to back up my own posts, because Ive had theories in threads that eventually get deleted, but have wanted to look back at them to see how accurate they turned out to be.  And when we loose a member, it seems like it would be a nice thing to do, even if it is not useful for anything specific.

Go to the "See posts" link on the member's profile page. Save each page as an offline webpage. It's what I do for my PMs when they start to pile up.

I was hoping for something faster, since we are talking a couple hundred pages of posts on his profile.

if you go to your own profile and modify-
Messages to display per page:
^that you should be able to get alot more of them on a single page when you look? i'd try it but my connections suck, loading a 100 message page wouldn't be easy.
(i guess the limit is 50)

Ok, I gave that a try, but it only seems to affect active threads, not the "Show Post" page in mine or others' profiles.

No worries, it was a good thought. And it's still useful for normal threads, I didnt know the option was there.

always read the fine print and ask what the little red button does too.
