permission to see posts by an author and print view showing all posts in a thread

Postby aLanguageLearner » Fri Aug 13, 2021 9:42 am

Would it be possible to be granted permission to see the posts by an author? This is a useful means of access to the forum's knowledgebase in addition to the subject-categorized threads. This is especially important during the early newcomer phase of reading the forum's posts before starting to post, as recommended by netiquette guides going back to the early 90's and by many forum's rules.

Would it be possible to change the configuration of the forum software to enable the print view of threads to list all the posts in the thread? An example would be the print view at HTLAL. For the viewer, this is more convenient for reading, printing, and saving than separately requesting each page of a thread. For the server, this view includes no images, so it is usually a small file, anyway, and serving it as a single file reduces the number of requests to the server. In the forum administration webpages, this option is probably a simple checkbox or radio button, if it exists.

Thank you.
