'print version' of thread like in wikipedia

[gj551]

hello, in wikipedia and in other message boards there is an option 'print version'. it displays to you the thread in simple text format so one can print it more easily without having to have in it the message board graphics. i did not find it do you have this option in the message board? please tell, thank you

 

well, i fathom it isnt there (is it?) .. there are many threads of value. could you implement it..? that would be good. lets discuss this. it would make the difference between reading a long thread and not reading it because you could copy it on your phone then

Hi gj551,

I tend to browse the Tao Bums mostly whilst at work, during my lunch break.

And print threads that are interesting / long or too complex (for my limited intellect)

In order that i can read them later, at my leisure.

 

But as you mention, perhaps it would be easier / clearer with a "Print" layout / option.

 

Let's wait & see what the Mods etc make of your suggestion.

gj551,

 

I am not sure I have understood your problem.

 

Have you tried clicking the little printer icon found at the bottom of the webpage when you have opened a thread?

 

It should give you what you are looking for.

A slight drawback though: for long threads, the printer icon will not appear.

Yes, me too. But the exact definition of what a long thread is remains to be given. So when in doubt, just check the bottom of the thread, you may have a good surprise

fwiw, i just clicked on two threads: 13-pager it's still there, on the 22-page one it's gone. So..somewhere in between is the line

gj551 - the printer application has a small buffer. After a thread gets too long, the printer application cant handle it, so when it senses too many pages in a thread - the printer icon disappears.

ooo ooo! pick me!

maybe not of use to the OP, but i just found out i can save whole pages of a thread as a pdf with firefox for android's tools
