Default Using 2+2 without an internet connection

Basically, I want to be able to read some forum content and improve my game when I have free time, but no internet connection. For instance, right now I see thread that I would like to read, but I do not have time to. Later when I have time it would be ncie to read them, but I'll be in a place with no internet connection.

Has anyone come up with a good method of doing this? I suppose I could copy-paste threads into word for later reading, but I was hoping for an easier way to save the thread for use later on on my hard drive.

Thanks for any ideas.

Save pages to a USB flash drive (or just your regular HD, if you always use your laptop).

Increase your setting to 99 posts/page, so you have to save fewer pages.

open browser, go to threads you want to read, leave browser up and disconnect, hit back button while disconnected and you should be able to read it all

Open browser, open threads you want to read later in their own window/tab. Disconnect and leave browser windows/tabs open.

If you want to be able to turn your computer off, just use your browser Save function and save the page(s) to your hard drive.

The firefox extension Scrapbook is great.

It lets you save tons of webpages to your harddrive easily, and saves all images/etc. (or not, if you choose not to).

On a related note, does anyone know how to have your windows mobile smartphone or PDA automatically sync up the top 'x' number of threads in a forum for later disconnected browsing?

OP - Buy a printer.

Redd - I think that would require RSS, which 2p2 doesn't support.
