    I have a huge win7 tips thread that people like to print out, however when printing from the browser (any browser!) only as much of the thread as can fit on 1 page of the printout will print out, as seen below:



    As you can see I have a workaround in place by taking the post's HTML code and making up a separate HTML file you can download that doesn't have this problem when you print it out.

    I would like to see this printout problem fixed so other people who have no clue how to make up a HTML page with the post's code can still print out the long threads correctly.

    Hi Joel,

    Printing Forum threads is in our backlog list of feature work. I know we've had some requests from Forums Users for this issue and we don't have a firm date for this feature. A work-around would be to reduced the print size (Not the best solution/work-around).

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Yes, not the best workaround in the world....(especially for that long thread)

    Think the issue comes from somehow the printout is told to only put the thread on one page and not allow it to span multiple pages...

    Thanks for letting us know that this is in the queue for being fixed...
