Two questions for the Tech experts:

First, what's the easiest way to "print" a thread, especially if it continues across multiple forum pages?

Second:  There are some members and topics that I flagged to "follow."  Is there any way to see new activity ONLY from the Followed members and topics?

Thanks!  -Ted

 I use Bullzip PDF printer to print each page as a PDF, and then an online PDF merge utility(http://www.pdfmerge.com/) to combine them into one document if needed.

 You can just follow the email alerts, w/o going to the OGR forum website, or bookmark each member's activity stream and the topic page's urls for quick access online.

There is no easy way to print the thread body only. If you have windows 7 or 8 you can use the "snipping tool" to capture pictures of the screen. You can save those for reference.

 

As ADCX Rob mentioned, you need other software and have to go through multiple steps to create a printable text document. In Windows, copy and paste into Word Pad and edit.

 

Examples attached.

Slow but, makes it handy to go back and read quickly. I also do it with individual pictures of some of the fine work I see on here for future reference.
