Is there a simple way to download all of one's posts in a certain thread?

I realized that a lot of what I've documented over the past few years may be useful to me in the coming months and wondered if there were some way, fairly simply, that I could search for all posts by me in a certain thread, then down load the content.

Copy and paste won't cut it.

If you go to the thread in question, hit search this thread, advanced...search for posts by, you get a list....

Down loading those posts.... No. you'll have to click each link and copy them.

I'd look through Firefox addons to see if Downthemall or DTA one-click could download all links on a page.

I can get all your Cellar posts in a single text file if that's any help

That would be great. Would they be in chrono order or some other way?

Mmm, Looking into it a bit more, the output of what I'd generate would be really poor... it's not parsed so the bbtags are all in it, there are backquotes before every newline. It's a mess, you wouldn't want it.

I'd be willing. To help by looking at a sample to see if I could. Use some automated tools from notepad++ to clean it up

I'll try DTA and a few other DL tools I have.
