Request: View on single page

Postby Komma » Mon Apr 18, 2016 8:39 am

I don't know whether this is possible, but if so, could we add a feature to view all posts on one page? The old HTLAL had this 'print view' which showed all comments on one page. The print view here does not. It would be very helpful for saving interesting topics to pocket or similar services and read through the whole thread without the need of saving every single page.

Thanks :)

I second this feature request. However, if there are some practical reasons why this can't or shouldn't be enabled, it would be nice to hear them if the administrators have time (which is always in short supply!).

A concern that immediately pops into my head is a fear of increased bandwidth costs if a material percentage of users decide to enable "single page view" for every thread by default.

As a user, if this feature was enabled but a valid concern raised, I'd be willing to pay for it via donation if an analysis (even back of the envelope) concludes that costs will most likely rise without an appreciable revenue/fundraising offset.

Even if it is not possible to kind of making this a default display setting or so, how about this: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=1214605 It is like viewing all posts on one page in print mode. Probably like the one at old HTLAL
