Saving Threads as PDF file?

Hi Brian, I see now - that appears to be a kind of toolbar extension to your web browser. The extension is doing the save to PDF, an individual forum doesn't really control that.

That extension must not support a particular kind of page called a "frameset" or multi-frame page like this forum happens to use. The other forums that you are going to are probably not using multiple frames, that's why it works with other forums.

You might check in that toolbar extension to see if there are any options for multiple frame handling that you could enable.


Otherwise, it is possible to view the contents of a thread in a single page (without frames) by using this method: Find thread you want to save to PDF in the left-side pane and then do a right-click on it with your mouse. On the menu that pops up, choose "Copy shortcut". Now go click in the address bar at the top of the screen (where it shows the current web address like http://moi3d.com), and then push ctrl+V to paste the address for that that thread there, and then push enter.

After you do that, the contents of that thread should be showing all by themselves on a single page - your PDF generator will probably work properly on it at this point.
