I swear I’ve seen a PRINT box at the beginning of the post(s) and even signing in now I don’t find it.
How to print up a complete post?

Thanks for the reply. My peoples did do something like that and printed 34 pages of my post “Tribute to Don Rook & the ‘70 300 Hurst”. It’s a Christmas copy for his wife, Cathy. I will be adding more to the story soon and she liked this “part 1”.
My wife helps a lot, good peoples.
That’s been my experience too. @Joeychgo — any chance that you might add the capability to print out entire threads in one go, ideally without the « fat »?
I dont think thats an available option but I'll look into it
A post or a thread? For a thread, just right click pretty much anywhere on the thread and click print. It should load all the post into your print queue.
That would be great -- thank you for looking into it!
In related matters, what would be great is to be able to do searches on word roots -- for example partial VIN codes (say, DH41L1D? would get you a list of all posts that mention the VIN starting with DH41L1D and one would get at all the Monacos built for the 1971 MY with a 383-2, including for example DH41L1D220888 that I just bought).
That works here already. If you don't find any posts containing for example, DH41L1D that means there aren't any.
AFAIK, that only works for each page of a thread -- the request here is for all the posts in all the pages of a given thread to be printed in one go.
Did you look at my screenshot example? It takes 7 pages to print all the posts of this thread. That should include the whole thread.
Before you are so quick to disagree you need to try it. Because of our latest posts it now takes 10 pages to print them all. It also includes the advertising and list of Joey's other websites that you find on the last page or two. Good luck, I'm out.
If the thread had multiple pages, like for example this one that has 2 pages of posts, you would have to repeat the operation twice. Some threads have massive numbers of posts spread over multiple pages, and archiving those in a single go is what @haywire 440 and I think would be great.
I must be missing something. When I search for either DH41L1D or DH41L1D? the post that I linked to above does not come up. Neither do posts for other 1971 Monacos like this one. See here:

@Toolmanmike -- it seems that your post and mine crossed. Pls have a look at the info I added, and if I am missing something let me know. I would like nothing better than to be wrong -- having those two capabilities (full-thread printing and partial-word searching) would be really great, so if the FCBO engine already has them (and I have just missed the options) then I'll be really happy to be proven wrong.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I went to another thread with multiple pages, did the Ctrl-P and looked at the preview, yes multiple print pages but only for the one web page. You would need to repeat that for all the other pages.

This one" contains 36 posts on 2 pages. My print queue includes the title page, all 36 posts and the advertising and forum links at the bottom. The whole thread including the photos. It takes the printer 15 sheets of paper to print out that thread.

Yes but at this time this thread is only one web page, once it rolls into multiple pages the print feature will not include the other web pages.

The search engine will pull any posts that contain the characters DH41L1D "exactly" as you type them. It won't list the post that you linked to because that post contains the whole VIN and not the characters exactly as you typed them in. The vin in the post you linked to does contain the characters "DH41L1D" but not as they were typed in the search engine.
Think of how the program is written for it to work and not the way you think it should or would like it to. Making a change that looks simple may take hours which equates to may dollars to re-write it or modify features.
Mine does. You might need to try refreshing the page. Post#17 is the last post in this thread before this one I am typing.
Now, there must be a limit somewhere. I just tried the "Epic Woops thread" and it won't load all 80 pages. There is probably a limit in the print queue because of the size of the file. (just like photo limits or title character limits)

As you can see in this example,
33 print pages to print just page 1 of the thread.
