This hacks allows you to download a forum thread into your computer (desktop etc.) as a text file with one click.
The hack adds a "DOWNLOAD THREAD" link inside Thread Tools pop-up and when clicked entire thread is downloaded to your computer. (See &stc=1)
It's useful when:
a) You want to archive and save the thread,
b) Want to read it offline,
c) It's a long thread and you want to browse it faster as a text file, use better searching features of your text editor.
The hack is tested with vB3.0.0 And vB 3.0.1, it is NOT tested with versions prior to 3.0.0. (vB2.x version is http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40981). It is very easy to install. As a matter of fact it is an add-on, not a hack so you can install to your board without modifying any vb files. Just upload dt.php to your forum directory and make a easy change in showthread template and it is installed. Simple as that.
VERSION FOR VB 3.5 is released here:
Download Forum Thread To Your Computer (vB 3.5.x)
If you install it, please click , thank you.
Note : Download function is tested with IE v.6.0, Netscape v.4.7, Mozilla 1.2a and it's working fine in these browsers. I dont know other browsers or older versions though.
27.May.2004 Bug Fix : A small bug is fixed in file dt.php which effect users with prefixed tables in database.
29.May.2004 Bug Fix : A small bug in dt.php is fixed to cure post titles with special characters ("'?&) in it. Attached dt.php file is uptodate.
12.Dec.2004 Bug Fix : A small bug which causes soft deleted posts to be included in the downloaded text is fixed. Attached dt.php file is uptodate.
Note 1: If you want to use a different download thread image, see this post
.
Note 2: If you want to save threads as .rtf, instead of .txt, see this post
.
Enjoy the hack,

Thank you! I've been waiting for this port! 
I've also thrown together a quick image for people to possibly use instead of the sortasc one as it does look a bit weird. I've attached it along with an example screenshot of the image replaced. Just replace sortasc.gif with download.gif and upload that file into the buttons directory in images.
I hope it looks alright, I designed it for our forums which was designed to eliminate as much of the anti-aliasing as possible.
