Flem72 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Help files state that there is a "Topic Options" button at the end of each topic. I'm thinking this is how I can print an entire topic rather than having to print each page individually. Cool. But I don't see the button at the end of any topic I've scanned today. So: How do I print an entire topic? Regards and Happy Trails, Scott NeedhamBoulder, Colorado, USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Help files state that there is a "Topic Options" button at the end of each topic. I'm thinking this is how I can print an entire topic rather than having to print each page individually. Cool. But I don't see the button at the end of any topic I've scanned today. I suspect what's meant is the dark blue bar where you can filter out posts below a certain up-/downvote threshold So: How do I print an entire topic? I dunno, but if you go to your settings (click on your username at the top right), you can set the number of posts to show on each page under Forums->Board Preferences. This seems to be limited at 40, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshoe Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 As I'm writing this, I'm looking at a line a bit below the "blue bar" mgoetze mentioned. It says "Share this topic:" followed by a bunch of icons. One of them looks suspiciously like a printer. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 At the bottom of each of the topic is something that says "share this topic" (if you can't find it, use your browser's search function, but it is down there on the bottom of the window). Click the icon that looks a lot like a little printer. Nothing terrific happens, a new window opens with what looks like exactly the same thread you had just read. The difference is if it is a multi-page forum (with a lot of replies, even hundreds), the entire thread shows up in that page without next page suff--- that is all the replies to the topic will be on one page to allow it to be printed in full. I would prefer if the icons and all the color etc wasn't there, but it is. To actually print it, you need to then plug in a printer (or use wifi) and use the print function from your browser.

barmar Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I just tried the printer icon on the "I can't sign into BBO" thread. It did indeed pop up a new window, but it only had the first 40 posts (the page size I have set in my profile). If I do it from the second page, the new window just contains posts starting from #41. So apparently this doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
