Compacting a Thread, Somehow...?

Hello All,

if a thread has a couple hundred pages it is not so easy anymore to stay focused all the time, especially when you need to regularly flip back a dozen pages and forth again to find one specific attachment ... I wonder if there is a way to make such a thread into one compact piece like one ( pdf?) file or - even one page would suffice ( including any attachments still visible, but I doubt this one); does anyone have any idea?

I've seen some people start 'Summary' threads that do exactly as you've described. If there is a specific thread you are interested in 'compacting' let me know and I will see what I can do.

thanks,

Re: Compacting a Thread, Somehow...?

I set my view to 40 posts per page;
it makes reading long threads a bit easier.

some forums have a print button,
which you can use to print the whole thread into a doc file.

Call me stupid, but I cannot find any switch filtering the number of posts displayed per page ... :-(

go to the top of the page and look for UserCP.

click on that, then look at the left column for Edit Options,

then look under the section Thread Display Options...
