How do we download our posts? — TheMadFool

Good question! I also would like to download my posts as a PDF file or something related.

Copy paste them to a word document and export it to PDF.

You can even keep the exact look if you are using windows. Type "snip" into the search bar and it will bring up a tool that can take photos of your screen as a PNG. Open the post you want, snip it, put the photo in a word doc, and export to PDF.

You don't need a special feature for this.

In times of yore, there was a mystical text that did this. But some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth.

How do we download our posts? I'd like to download my posts. Thanks — TheMadFool

With this software it can't be done. Yet another reason we should move to something better. It's possible that PlushForums will send me the posts of a single member if I ask them nicely.

I tried this:

https://thephilosophyforum.com/profile/comments/126/themadfool/all

But it just shows the first page of posts.

I did find a way to export some things but it's only for specific pages you want to keep. For instance, I'm using the Pocket app so I can read the short stories on my e-reader.

Each page of comments in your profile shows 40 comments. Any programmer should find it easy to write a script to go through the pages and scrape the comments and put them in a text file:

https://thephilosophyforum.com/profile/comments/126/themadfool/
https://thephilosophyforum.com/profile/comments/126/themadfool/40
https://thephilosophyforum.com/profile/comments/126/themadfool/80

And so on.

I hope the forum adds the posts download feature soon. Thanks to all those who've commented and tried to lend a helping hand. I'll try out the few suggestions that were given. Good day.

It probably won't happen.

:cry: I'm an eternal optimist!

Even if you can't download your posts they are on the site permanently, so you can access them. If you were to download all your threads it would probably fill a complete kindle. It would be 'The Collected Works of Madfool.'

A Google search for "plushforums download posts" gives this as the second result. :lol:

I got perma banned from facebook and now when I login to my banned account it gives me the option to download all my content.

I gues they are saving it forever lol

Because they want to control our data... It is so scary.

I can't find the recent thread about the Russell set.

And when I click the link to 'Feedback' it does nothing.

It got deleted. See fdrakes response to my post in the Shoutbox.

Did a bit of digging, found this:

Can I read your API documentation?

We have a very basic API, which currently has the sole purpose of sending invitation codes and activating or deactivating user accounts. Discussion lists (for All Discussions, Blog, Events, Most Viewed and each Category) are available via RSS.

Dunno if there's a straightforward way of getting all of your data, aside from 's suggestion.

I'm for this too! :up:

Because you're worth it.
