Images in print view

[zackw]

I hope the title says it all. I'm looking for a way to allow some kind of image view in the print view of a thread.

I know it can get ugly if there are large images or whatever. But if there were a way, my members are asking for it. They like to "archive" or print threads they want to keep. Our forum has a lot of informational stuff, often with details in images, so people do like to archive for themselves.
That being said, only inline images need to show up, not attached files.

If the images could even be resized that would help a lot for print view. So obviously no 1280 pixel images take over the view.

Anything like this available?

Coinciding with this image viewing option, I'd like the option to view the entire thread on the same page. I know, that can get harry if there are dozens of pages, but at least more than the default limits set in admin. Right now my users can view up to 40 posts a page, but when going in print view, I'd like them to see more if they want, such as a hundred posts perhaps. This will let them print or save more posts with fewer pages to go through.

Thanks! (P.S. We're on VB 4.0.7)
