Question here. Iā€™m new to the site so apologies if this has already been asked. Is there a way to save a thread from Gamers Plane to my computer? I like to sometimes save old pbp games for posterity so I can re-read them later on. Iā€™m hoping that there is a simpler way than copying and pasting each individual post from the game thread.

There isn't really, but if you just want to keep the text without the post headers or formatting, you can load the entire thread and then execute this code in the console (F12):
$('.postHeader,.posterDetails,.postActions').remove();

Then you just need to mark the first word of the thread, scroll to the very end, hold shift and click after the last word and you'll have the entire text marked to copypaste it out. That's the best way I know of so far but while it works for the game I used it on, it might not be a great solution for many other games.

You can view a whole thread, and then save the webpage.

Or print to PDF. Or save to a tool with a webscraping service, like Evernote...
