How to save a thread as a Player?

Playing a character with a phenomenal (near Photographic) memory... but my personal memory is not so great.  I'd like to save threads he's been played in so I can check stuff later on down the road...

Is there anyway to save a thread as a Player?  I've seen the GM's get a download link to make it easy on them... do us Players just have to do it the hard way?

GM's get everything (private lines etc), whereas players might all see slightly different versions of threads - which may or may not be behind the reasoning not to have the option available for players, but it could affect the code behind the scenes, as it can render directly from the database for the GM.  Also GMs might not want players to be able to download the threads as they might want to simulate character ability to remember stuff, rather than player ability to read.  Though yes, I understand where you're coming from when the character has a far better memory than the player.

I use a Firefox Add-on to save webpages to PDF - just search on Print to PDF or Save as PDF under the Add-ons manager.

Once you install that, then you just click on all to show all threads then run your Add-on of choice (mine sits under the File menu) et voila !  :>

There's bound to be something similar for IE, Chrome etc.

That explanation makes perfect sense... I can just save each page individually as HTML, but I'll look into the other options too.

Thanks!

[EDIT]
Chrome does have a Print-to-PDF function!  SWEET!  Thanks again, that makes it so much simpler!
