>If you alter your viewing preferences to be compressed list, guest book style, no frames, and click on a thread title, you'll get all the posts in that thread in 1 piece of HTML, which can be simply "save as" from your browser.
Some browsers will even save the pictures from the HTML as well.

>In Internet Explorer, you can do a "Save as..." and choose the "Web Archive" format. There you will find an option to Download Links Choosing "1 Level Deep" is sufficient for a WC thread, since all the associated posts are listed on the page. This method also worked for BP, but it doesn't work for Sawmill Creek or Roger Nixon's Traditional Tools, or SAPFM fora.
Thereafter, you can use MIE to read the whole thread, including pictures, even when you are offline.

>Which version of IE are you using? I tried doing what you suggested with 5.5. I never got a chance to specify a Download Links Choosing level. When I looked at the saved page, all the links pointed back to WC.
