I'd like to dump into a file the following thread:

Sticky: Recommendations for Best headphones on the market (new and old)

How does one do this? It would make it easier to search through it for particular comments. Also, it would facilitate reading.

Suggestion appreciated.

Thanks

Only Moderators can make a thread a Sticky.

I don't want to create a sticky. The thread already exists. I just want to copy the contents of the whole thread into a single file so I can do quick searches and scans instead of going page-by-page on-line.

I've asked a similar question elsewhere, as I'd like to do the same thing with some of the huge threads (e.g., Stax threads). There is the option to print, but that's limited to only 15 posts per page (I think). There must be a vbulletin hack or plugin for this...

How about "Thread Tools" -> "Show Printable Version" and "Show 15 post(s) from this thread on one page"?
Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio - Recommendations for Best headphones on the market (new and old)

It's not quite there yet but I don't know a better way.

Btw, in the default view of a thread you can also search for comments with the "Search This Thread" box at the top of the first post.

Sometimes when google leads me to a forum thread it shows it in an archive form that shows all posts, not sure how it does that though.

How about the Search This Thread function?

It does work to an extent giving partial information. What is needed now is for someone with programming expertise to write a program to expand the posts retrieved in the search. Then it could be copied into a file. I don't have that expertise.

I'd like to know this so I can save entire threads (archive of my own).

ludoo wrote some software to search the Stax, Ortho, and SS threads, so it can be done Home / Head-Fi Megathreads

Are my suggestions invisible lately?

Never seen any function like this.
You can save pages and combine them. But with 45 pages it will take some time...
