I didn't know you could do this, is that link there what lets you d/l to printer friendly or word doc for this forum only, a built in feature?

Or is it something that can be done on any forum?

Quite a handy thing to be able to do, to catch up offline

Thats what I was tring but it only dl's posts up to 17 August 2007 which misses the most important bit of the thread where I argue in favour of analogue sticks

on forums using invision power board you can. dunno about others

Would something like http://www.httrack.com/ work for what you need?
That lets you rip an entire site, might be able to filter it to just grab the forum thread? I dunno though, just found that while searching just now about how to do this

there's a site on these pages somewhere that tracks and logs all comments from the OPT and puts it up on a site, I'm sure a nifty script like that could be adjusted to rip all the posts of any single thread too?
Again just guessing really it's not something iv ever done before

 

[Fzero]

Ok cheers, the other board I use often isn't IP it's vbullitin so nevermind, it's a nice little feature though

 

[emcp]

try installing a pdf printer, bullzip for example

then print the webpage using the print function in your browser, use a pdf, and youll have one pdf file of the entire forum
although avatars etc will be viewable

SORRY THAT WONT WORK, THE BROWSER ONLY SEES THE FRONT PAGE, BTW I CANT OPEN THE LINK YOU SUPPLIED

not really to do with the same topic but i noticed some of the early pictures of the pandora and wonder if there is a place that hosts them ? i really like the look of the silver circle around the two anologs and the speakers look better ,not sure about the keyboard but this was a very small pic in someones sig.

Ok i found the actual anolog nub part on the photo thred but not seen any pics with it installed ,i take it this was an old anolog nub and OPT choose to go with a different company.

found a better pic with silver ring nubs ,it looks good but i would like to see in a final pandora unit ,i bet it would look bad ass ,a bit like the pandora has eyes.

My understanding was that the company responsible for the silver-ring nubs ultimately decided not to produce them, resulting in the team coming up with their own instead.

 

[paddy]

Ahh thank you Prometheus ,they really look cool but all black is also very nice very sleek looking.

 

[Snow-Okami]

What OS are you using?

I thought that the company went under and took the design with them.

 

[Prometheus]

I'm pretty sure that the first company didn't make any nubs after the samples, and then the one who produced the ones that are being used went under, resulting in the team having to pay twice to get them back.

I could well be mistaken, though.

What is that Alec?
I can't understand it to break it down, but is it a linux command that will just rip all of that forum thread posts into a text file or something?

If it is, sweeeeet!!, linux is sick
no downloading software required.... Bet you can't do something like that on Windows


I want to be a command line king! When I get this pandora I'm gonna practice lol

 

[GPJosh]

OS X too if you want. Install fink, then

fink install wget

Make sure you're in a new directory when you run Alec's script though, because will make ALOT of folders :lol:

Yep, it's a little bash script (which you could paste to the command line) that downloads all the pages in that thread, in their full entirety (including all the images) to disk
