It's nice to have the members logged in and reading the stories, instead of downloading the PDF file then getting logging out.

While reading the threads, it also entices members to post in the thread. While logged out reading PDF files this may not happen.

And yet, on the other hand, there are forums with lots of technical information and support shared. Admins might wish to allow their users to be able to locally archive and search this information. Users might feel "safer" knowing they're able to save a long, informative thread to their own computers... should the forum be down or the thread get removed.

Think of vb.org, for example. There have been instances where a hack author leaves, or a mod is removed... in that case, the support thread with all he answers go "poof!" as well. As a forum admin who might be running one of those mods, the ability to save the thread for my own reference later on would be VERY much appreciated.


That said... I, for one, am appreciative that magnus has coded this and is sharing it with us all. Looking forward to seeing improvements, if they are planned. I would like to see the option for images (inline as well as smilies) to be included, if that's possible.
