Save a Forum Thread as a File Idea
Most of us know about saving a thread to your profile, that way you can go back to it without actually looking for it in the forums.
I was wondering, would it be possible to have a "Save" link that enables you to save the entire thread as a downloadable text or even html file?
What do you think of this possible new feature?

I know I would use it. I have a ton of threads saved for Breaking-in articles.

Really interesting...Let's contact The Webmaster after his pee break.

If we had the option to grab topic data (without scrapping) in some format (eg. JSON, XML/RSS), creating a program to fetch and display it (eg. XSLT) would be trivial.

File > Save Page As...?

It would be an interesting idea, but I could only see it being useful for "dead" threads, as hot topics are ever-expanding, and therefore would require constant saving.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Wikked Navajoe Sounds like it would take up a lot of space.[/quote] Your average page is less than 500kB, so it depends on the size of the thread. Anyway, it'd be the user's choice, so it wouldn't matter. I say this would be a cool feature but not really a necessary addition.

[/quote] The data? Perhaps. The pages themselves? Absolutely not. [Edited on 06.19.2012 1:07 PM PDT]

Could be useful for if a forum gets removed like the Optimatch I suppose, otherwise I don't see much use for this.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Lobster Fish 2 Why would this feature be necessary?[/quote]Eh. It might be more beneficial to the mods. But as for me. I like to archive The News and sometimes even Deej's threads. I just think it would be a kewl feature. [Edited on 06.19.2012 12:28 PM PDT]
