I am wondering why don't we have a thread print button in the forums? This would help us tremendously. Let's say you're following a thread in a forum, where you have basically a step-by-step on how that specific model has been built, painted etc. We could benefit from a Print Thread button which will print all the thread pages including the images in the thread.

Hi
You do get that option in "Features". Just have to hope the thread and the model are good enough to warrant being turned into one.
Other than that the easiest way I know without actually printing it out is to hit print whilst looking at a thread and create a pdf. If you don't get it all posts keep making pdf's. Plenty of free pdf creators and even editors to collate into one pdf around to use for this purpose.

Alan, thanks. I know about these options. I was thinking at a button for threads. The features option however, does not print (all) pictures attached to that specific feature. Another way of doing it is to copy and paste text and images in a Word document then format it then print it. It would make our forum lifes so much easier have we had that option.
