navindra thank you! My main piano search thread is now something like 17 pages, so the ability to print in one go is really great 🙂

I do have experience running (and writing) scripts but only in Unix, and right now I only have access to Windows. If it's not that hard for a technically savvy (but not terribly motivated) person I'd give it a try 😂

      twocats Awesome!

      I hunted around quite a bit and found various interesting things like that Print Threat option that made my life easier when writing that script.

      Wonderful. Then you will have no problem at all. Python was born on Unix but works everywhere. I'll see about sharing the script... might take me a few days to get to it.

            navindra Thanks for the feedback! I'm not sure what the best solution is. Can we coerce the WayBack Machine to archive the old threads and make them searchable? As we've seen from some of the comments at the PW forum about the initial seeding of content here, it's probably not something that can or should be done.

            By the way, thanks for setting this forum up. I didn't post much before, but as a regular reader, I am interested in seeing the community continue to thrive.

                No rush, I'm not sure when I'd get around to looking at it anyway!! Thank you for sharing your work 😊

                  Being too lazy to look into it myself, you might want to see if httrack or wget would get you where you want to go.

                    FrankCox hah, I am too lazy to look into it too. If someone hands me a solution I'll probably use it, but otherwise I'll probably print a few of my threads from PW to a PDF for my own records.

                      FrankCox Thinking about it more, you are right.

                      A combination of wget with "Print Thread" will serve better here. HTML should be fine, doesn't even need to be PDF as you can still read it in a browser.

                      When I wrote the original script to pull my data from Piano World, I had to be very careful to pull down my content alone. For archival and reference purposes, that doesn't really serve well though.

                      I definitely wish we could get Piano World on archive.org. I'm not sure what is preventing it actually.

                          FrankCox Wow! What a great tip!

                          I just saved a thread there:
                          https://web.archive.org/web/20240519214905/https://forum.pianoworld.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/printthread/Board/1/main/220045/type/thread.html

                          This gives me ideas... I wish I'd known about this sooner. 😃

                          This is amazing really, perhaps we can archive and index the more interesting threads from PW now. 😃

                            twocats I was looking around PW and I was surprised to see that one of your threads is at the very top in terms of number of replies and number of visits in the Piano Forum.

                            There's now an archive of it in print format here:

                            Wow: You met Heather and Darrell Fandrich! I only got the chance to meet Heather as Darrell had already passed.

                                Wow, really?? I guess it's because I won't let the thread die 😂 I wanted all my progress updates in one place and am still working on getting my piano to it's "finished" state. It's pretty close, after quite a lot of work and expense. Now we're just repeatedly voicing down the new hammers.

                                Heather and Darrell were lovely! I was sorry to hear that he passed away.

                                Thank you for archiving the thread for me!
