Highlight what you want to save, copy and paste it into the document type you wish to save it as.

I had hoped there was a more global command wherein I could select the whole thread. I guess there is not.

Yes I knew that but I am pretty confident that does not exist. The closest thing to doing that is to copy the URL to a file and then you can use that as a means to find the thread.

Other possibilities are to make multiple screen captures and save them or simply bookmark it in BYC since the bookmark feature is now available to all members instead of the only the PFM members.

One could use the multi-quote (+Quote) feature on all posts then copy and paste that into word.

I copied a thread once....every single post by copying and pasting it into a word document.
Took me a good few weeks to do it.

Which thread do you want copied?
If it isn't too crazy long I'll do it for you.

Just remember to expand each quote before copying it.

Ctrl+A is select all, you could go to each page, hit Ctrl+A to select, then Ctrl+C to copy, then paste the page into your text file. It will bring a bunch of garbage like links with it, but it shouldn't be too hard to clean up.

I have 7 cats, 6 horses, a dog, 1 spoiled rotten semi-feral pigeon, and a fish as pets. Hoping to have quail in the near future.
