How to archive a topic

How to archive a topic is a quick guide that Ngamer wrote in 2008 and put up on the wiki so he'd be able to link to this page instead of re-typing the guide every time someone on Board 8 asked how to save their topic that was about to hit 500.

How to archive a topic

 * Open Page One. Hit Control + U.
 * File - Save As, MyTopic.html, Save to Desktop.
 * Go to Page 2. Hit Control + U.  Hit Control + A.  Hit Control + C.
 * Open MyTopic.html in Wordpad/Notepad. Move to bottom of text.  Press Control + V.
 * Go to Page 3. Hit Control + U.  Hit Control + A.  Hit Control + C.
 * Move to bottom of MyTopic.html in Notepad. Press Control + V.
 * Continue on through Page Ten.

You can archive a 500 post topic in 3.5 minutes.

Note: Control + U only works in FireFox. If you're using IE, hang your head in shame, and then select View and Source in place of the Control + U commands.
