I am exploring the idea of using Discourse as a tool for peer to peer learning between students in Afghanistan and students in the west. Internet access in Afghanistan is very expensive relative to people’s incomes. For this reason, it would be helpful if a topic could be downloaded as an html file to be accessed off-line. Is there a way to force all the posts in a topic to load so that they can be saved?

Sort of, disable JavaScript and you get a 1996 HTML version of the site. It is paginated though. This is the same request as the “need printable topic” that has come up a few times, so closing as dupe – search for that.

Actually, printable view is rather solved in Chrome. Try pressing Ctrl-P…
