Just a thought - I copied the image from the attach folder over to the buttons folder, and it looks ok

It looks ok, but it is a little to small.

Just like the image I've put in the zip.

The pulldown menu is not completely straight.

Great idea. :up:

What format does it print? Regular thread view, custom view, or "print thread" view?

Does it have a limit on thread size in the number of posts?

[Frenck]

It looks very much like the printthread view.

Currently it adds ALL posts of a thread into one pdf.
