Save a thread, forum suggestion

Hey, I've been reading around here for a few months now and there is so much great information from so many different people, in so many different threads.
I generally just cut and paste to document or saving the page when i find something good but yesterday I came to the realization that it would be fantastic to be able to save an entire thread. I did a bit of searching and i found this program you can install on the board itself.
Download Forum Thread To Your Computer (vB 3.5.x) - Page 3 - vBulletin.org Forum

While this would be great for me to save growing info I'm afraid it would also be beneficial to law enforcement .

I'd love to see this implemented if possible, or an admins take on this.

Thanks.

I just "copy" and send to desktop, then open when needed.. If the server doesn't screw you..

Everyone should have an adobe pdf printer setup on their computer, if not go pick up acrobat its free and then click file-print -pdf

That's solid for saving one page of the thread but I want to be able to save the whole thread, like someones entire journal for instance. I think the easiest way would just be to go through the pages one by one and save them in an organized fashion.

Thanks for the pdf suggestion, I never knew you could print a webpage to pdf.

Here's how I save BIG Threads...
(Text only with links to pictures)

I you click on the thread tools function on the top of the pages they have a show printable version.
I click on that then the page pops up in text form....
Then I click on the "Show 40 posts per page" thats right underneath the page links on the top right of the page....
This turns a 200 page thread into a 50 page thread since there are more post per page...

Alot less clicking and files

Well essentially you are saving a thread by subscribing to it. Now I know that list get's pretty damn long in the Control Panel.... here's what I do:

1. Create new folders in my Control Panel for threads I know I want to keep always
2. Once I post or subscribe to a thread if it's one I want to keep I move it to one of my created folders.
3. Then I can go through and delete all the old misc. subscriptions every few weeks.... but I still have the ones I wanted to KEEP in my other folders.
