There used to be an option to "download thread" in thread tools, but it now seems to be missing. Does this option still exist, and if so how do I do it now?

Well, that is certainly a bummer. It really comes in handy in the Play By Post threads to keep a record of all that has gone on before. Is it something that will become available again in the future?

Especially for story hour threads, which are rarely under 10 pages for the better ones. Back when we had the functionality I'd DL threads to a text file all the time. I'd love to be able to read story hours on my Kindle.
RPG.net allows you to see 200 posts per page on a printable version, which is much better. But I agree, a user selection (maybe "20 posts, 200 posts, or the entire thread" as selectable links) would be much better.
Bummer. Any chance of getting this function restored?
I downloaded vols 1-12 of the Gygax threads, but not 13. Would dearly love to get 13 in the same format.
Any chance of this coming back?

HINT: Gaming comes down to having fun. If somebody at the table doesn't have the same expectations as the rest of the group, you're going to have trouble. Doesn't matter if it's rule set preferences, roll vs. role play, or bringing the right munchies. You need to set the expectations for the campaign when you gen chars or you are going to get hosed at some point.
This would be useful. If this does come back, it might also make for a nice new Community Supporter Only function like Search to help sweeten the pot to get some more new members!

If that was the only way to get it, I would sign up for Community Supporter tomorrow (though I'm probably going to sign up tomorrow anyway)! Download Thread really was one of my most-used tools here.

They've added my biological and technological distinctiveness to their own.

I don't know if vBulletin 4 includes the function, but that's going to be released fairly soon and we'll be upgrading to it.
Thanks Morrus! Here's hoping that version 4 does include the tool!
