Since the "Print Thread" function is defunct without much hope of actually climbing up to the top of the endless pile of SysOp duties...

Is it possible to Export the text of a thread to a text file or greatly increase the number of posts that show up on one page? This would make backing threads up a lot easier and save time when I'm consolidating information....

Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.

You can go to My Controls, then click on Board Settings and change the number of posts seen on a page to 100. I think the default is 25.
