Reading tool for long threads

[romseguy]

I've been working on a reading tool to help me navigate through long threads, you can check it out here : Cread - Reader prototype for Cassiopaea Forum maybe you'll find it useful as well.

On my computer, it doesn't take you down to it automatically, I had to scroll down to see it.
Pick a Year ====> scroll down.

Pushed a significant update to be able to remove quotes including the whole first post of the thread, which avoids a lot of scrolling down (especially annoying on phones) when viewing session threads for example.

And another update, send me a message if you find a bug.

Hey romesguy, is it supposed to be used to read messages written in a specific year or by a specific user? Is there a way for it to show all messages within the thread (all years and users) on one page so I can copy it into a doc (or download) and read offline? The old forum had an option to print entire long threads into PDF and that's one function I still miss on the new forum. Hence my question

I didn't test it thoroughly but you should already be able to access to the whole thread by clicking on the "view all messages at once" button next to the old one :

I had a look and tried with the thread from the latest session in December last year. If one clicks on "Pick a thread" => "Reading options" => "All posts" the posts shown are ranging only from December 10th (with Laura's initial session post) to January 6th (Huila's post), excluding the posts coming after that. There could be something I've missed, though.

Anyway, thank you for your work on sharing this tool with us!

That would be because the thread has been downloaded for the last time in the tool on January 6th.

Try checking the following box in the reading options :
