Copy a thread topic
Nov 7th, 2016 at 7:56pm
 
Hi all, how do I copy a whole thread?  Can I do it from the forum thread main page or do I have to go into the thread itself, select everything and copy into a new thread

Thankyou

Go into thread and right click, select "Save Page As" and save to your Desktop or where ever. Do this to each thread page. That's how I do it on my iMac

See that little icon before  "Pages: 1 2 3"? Click it and you have the option of choosing all, "1 2 3 all". Choose all and then you can choose to save the whole lot at once.

I have just experimented on this Vic, a good way to keep a copy is to Save Page as Webpage HTML Only

You can then view all pages like the original.

I use Firefox and had to save it as "Web page, HTML only" ... then to open it I had to right click and "open in Firefox".  I tried this with one thread that was pages long and it worked, I could click through all pages.   Good trick, Redneck.  Wink

LOL  Edit.  Just saw that you changed it to "Web page, HTML only" after I posted.  The other way didn't work. I tried it.  Smiley

The other way worked for me but it also saves a Folder of images and stuff as well as the webpage bit.

Anyway we have it right now which is all that matters

Thanks all, I am on my iPad at the moment and suffer badly from phat finger syndrome.  I appreciate the advice.   I will do the dead when I get to Briscoe airport and get to a proper 'puter!
