I’m using other forums which based on Discourse and some of them have great discussion that I want to save/archive for future reference. I can think of 1 way: start at the first discussion, scroll all the way back to the last messages, then save the page. But it’s very time consuming and not effici…

Discourse has a good print stylesheet for topics. Use a browser or extension that can print to a PDF.

Cmd+P in Chrome works perfectly for me

Does that work for long Topics? I get about 5-10 pages that look great and the rest are blank; I tried this on several long topics.

works great for a very long topic. I can archive a 100-page topic.

OK let’s use this topic for example: [image] Topic List Previews (legacy) Plugin This is now a Theme Component, the plugin is deprecated The new Topic is Topic List Previews Theme Component - theme - Discourse Meta [GitHub-Mark-32px] Repository: get the code…

Here is another way to do this for Discourse and just about any other webpage: [image] Save Page WE – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US) Download Save Page WE for Firefox. Save a complete web page (as curently displayed) as a single HTML file that can be opened in any browser. Choos…

That’s very unlikely to work with Discourse, because the page dynamically loads as you scroll down and we unload earlier content, all via JavaScript.

[image] codinghorror: because the page dynamically loads as you scroll down This by itself would not be a problem, because the Save Page WE extension captures the current state of the DOM… [image] codinghorror: and we unload earlier content, all via JavaScript. …but this will cause an…

Did you try using Cmd+P or Ctrl+P? With the print shortcut, Discourse switches to a printer friendly version of the style sheet, shows you a preview and then opens up the print dialog. Other way you can see it in action is by just appending “print” to the end of the topic URL. And then printing it…

Well that is interesting Yes I was using Cmd-P; that brings up the same dialog as your “/print” suggestion. What is interesting though is I was not waiting for the full preview to load until I proceeded to print to PDF. That seems to be why I got an incomplete 7-page / 2Mb report. On Chrome with…

I am pretty sure it is not resource intensive. I have had no trouble loading the previews in machines with RAM as low as 4GB, including the iPad I mentioned which is the cheapest of them all. It may be something to do with your browser configuration or some extensions you may be using. But I will le…

OK let’s use this topic for example:

When I Print to PDF with Chrome, i get this output, which omits much of the original discussion. What do you get?
