Re: Something between "show all" and the default 20 would be nice!
here a quote from another thread...
... i hope this helps you! there are also many other postings in this thread that are interesting
The reason
This topic: Thread printing got me thinking:
Scraper
I made a script that scrapes all posts from a thread, and uploads it as one page to loyce.club/showall/
How to use it
1. Get the topic ID from the URL. I'll use 5102296 as an example.
2. Post the following link, but replace the topic ID by the one you want: http://loyce.club/showall/5102296.html on any public board, so my scraper can find it. This has to be a new post, edits are ignored.
3. Wait a bit (about 10 seconds + 5 seconds per page)
4. Click the link you created
5. Feel free to delete your post again
The link created at #2 is not an archive: any new request will overwrite it. If you want, you can archive it.
Bugs
Probably, it was a quick job
Please post them here.
Limitations
I scrape a maximum of 500 pages per topic (sorry Wall Observer). I can increase this if needed, but this is probably enough to kill your browser already.
During scraping, all new requests are ignored. I didn't account for multitasking. If someone else occupies my scraper, you'll have to post your request again a bit later.
There's an additional 2 minute delay between requests.
Don't quote this post!

"Show all" is so convenient to CTRL-F something.
