Printing forum thread

Former Member

Hi,

I think there should be a better way to print forum threads.

At the moment (partially because I use firefox) I have to:

1. Get the url of the iframe of the forum

2. Disable javascript (so that the SDN framework isn't displayed)

3. Open the url from 1 and print

4. enable javascript again

Could you implemented a print functionality, which preferable also handles wrapping long lines ?

Cheers Dagfinn

I just do the "EMail this Post" to myself then print it, works a bit easier than your steps but you do loose all colors in the formatting but the indentation and everything of the text seems to stay no problem.

Oh one more thing the words [code ] and [/ code] are in the visible text in the email.

It can be much simplier though. Just put this in your navigation toolbar.

javascript:document.getElementById(%22iframecontent%22).contentWindow.print()

Bookmark it and use it every time you want to print.

Thanks Eddy,

Just what I was looking for. Started experimenting with the same, but thought the iframe was defined as a frame in javascript.

Still, it would be nice if the SDN team included a print icon/link in the forum page.

How do you do this in IE?

Nevermind. It is easy to print just the content of the messages in IE and not the frame.

Just right click on some text in a thread message, Select "Select All". Then Select "Print". It'll print the thread's contents and page info but not the frame.
