Here is the vb 4.x version of my Download Forum Thread To Your Computer hack. This hacks allows you to download a forum thread into your computer (desktop etc.) as a text file with one click. (vb 3.5.x version here)

The hack adds a "DOWNLOAD THREAD" link inside Thread Tools pop-up and when clicked entire thread is downloaded to your computer. (See Screenshot)

It's useful when:
a) You want to archive and save the thread,
b) Want to read it offline,
c) It's a long thread and you want to browse it faster as a text file, use better searching features of your text editor.

The hack is tested with vB4.0.0 GOLD and should work with all newer versions as well. (for vb 3.5.x, 3.0.x and 2.x versions see my profile.)

It is very easy to install. You can install it to your board without modifying any vb files.

If you install it, please click INSTALL, thank you.

Enjoy the hack,
Logician

Not sure why you would want .pdf as not everyone has a .pdf reader. .txt is way more universal.
This gets me thinking though,it would be really neat if you could save the thread,avatars,sigs and everything as a .pdf that looked just like the actual thread.

Fantastic mod; PDF would have been a nice touch though. Nevertheless, thanks for the mod!

Can you tell me what the difference is between the "Show Printable Version" function and this?

Will this download images as well? I'm assuming not since it's only .txt

PDF would be cool, or at least the choice to go PDF or TXT

For everyone wanting a PDF version, I suggest the following:

1./ Install CutePDF Writer (free PDF printer)
2./ On vB use "Show printable version"
3./ PRINT to CutePDF Writer, save the .pdf file

HOWEVER, vB 4.x has no PRINT_THIS_POST, which is IMO an unforgivable omission. I often want to print just one post, not a whole thread!

Unfortunately that doesn't work well, for anything longer than the default page length; i.e. if the thread is 800 posts long, this mod will save it as ONE text file - that's what we need as a PDF also.
Your solution, although neat for short threads, will require MULTIPLE print-to-pdfs, which is time consuming and not very ideal.

This mod simply lacks some formatting, as quoted text within a post appears as only from ONE person, which is quite confusing.

I am surprised that there is no better solution available...
