Kolusu,
Some of the posts are really very interesting and informative. Now, by nature, I always aim for paperlessness. But, there are times when I am away from computer and I want to go thru" some posts made here. For such situations, I sometimes take a hardcopy of the posts.

The problem is, these threads are not "print-friendly". When I print using Potrait view then the lines are truncated at the right and landscape view takes a lot of pages. So, is it possible to have an option of having a printable format for every thread? We do not really need the avatars in the print, the profile, mail, www links in the print. No date/time stamp, quick reply, graemlins (near the quick reply) are required. Just, the text, with the heading as the topic of post followed by breaks for various replies with the replier's name. OK, maybe the printable format can have the banner of Endeavor Software Consultants! Wink

Of course, others may have different options for printting. But, I am sure, my suggestion will be seconded by many.

Cogito-Ergo-Sum,

This is a really good suggestion and I went ahead and added it. The way it works is that at the beginning and end of each topic below the "email a friend link", I have added a new hyperlink labeled "printable version" which will provide you a printable format of the entire thread when you click on it. Once this new formated screen appears you will then select FILE ==> PRINT from the menu bar and that is it.

Best regards and thanks for the suggestion,

-dalaly

dalaly,
Great! Thanks, Dalay.

I tested a sample page. It looks OK to me.
