It would be nice to be able to read (expand) all messages of a thread, rather than one message at a time. The thread could then be easily printed, or a separate "print version" could be added as well.

That option is available, but only for CP Supporters. Personally, I find it harder to read long threads when every message is expanded. --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~! Ericahist | NEW!! PimpFish | CP SearchBar v3.0 | C++ Forum FAQ

Not meaning to sound rude, but, um, why?

If they are really long, then perhaps. But, I personally find it easier to look at a thread if I can expand it and refer back to other posts. I find that the alternative method, fully quoting the thread, gets messy and harder to read if it is all inside one post. While it would be nice, very rarely will somebody reply to a thread by pulling out and quoting only the important information. Usually, it's all or nothing. Present company excluded. :-D

That's not rude, it's a valid question. The expand-all option is available to Supporters because that's how Chris designed it - it's a perk of being a Supporter. --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~! Ericahist | NEW!! PimpFish | CP SearchBar v3.0 | C++ Forum FAQ

you know , this was the very first message when i started posting messages here in CP. i got replies asking me to change the viewing option to "expanded view".. but along with it came a reply from one you guys stating that the option is only for the supporters. and Nish suggested me to use [view Thread] and then save it to disk, but still i we wont be able to see all the posts at a time. and now the individual posts looking for server everytime, life has become really difficult.:(

Gee, i hate to be doing so much self-promotion here, but if it's making you sad you should really give my Print forum script[^] a try. Needs only Firefox [^]and Greasemonkey[^] to be installed, lets you print forums, save forums, admire the beautifully minimalistic white background of forums... it's all there, trust me! ;)

it can be broken by simple greasemonkey script.
