keiththelegokid Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I herald from the LMBs, and over there they plan to shut down the Old Bio Roleplay. I am wondering how easy it would be to say copy entire topics from that forum onto my hard drive, and how hard that would be. Thanks. P.S. I think this is the right sub forum for posting this. Right?

Right?It depends. If this is a question about your computer hard drive capability, it should go in COT. If this is a question about re-posting the whole topics on BZPower, it should go in Q&A.

Yeah, I'd say this goes in COT since it sounds like you want to know how to copy something onto your hard drive.And if it's the latter, I doubt you'll get a yes, even if it's just for archival purposes.

Bfahome Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Your browser should have some kind of "save as" option that'll let you save web pages as html documents. You could probably do that for all the pages you want to save. Tedious, but should work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffery Mewtamer Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 ^To add to that, if there's an option to change how many posts are displayed per page, you could temporarily set it to the maximum setting to reduce how many pages you need to save. If the site in question has a print view or archive view, that might allow you to save the content without a bunch of useless site navigation and use info boxes taking up space. Unfortunately, I don't know of any reliable method of automating the process, especially for sites where pages are dynamically generated. I think DownThemAll adds a download all links option to the context menu, but that likely won't capture everything you want and will likely capture a lot you don't want.
