How do back up my game?

I'm seriously thinking of ending my game, but would like to save the entire set of posts off-site. Is there any way of just .ZIPing up the whole kit & kaboodle for archiving elsewhere?

You have to go through thread by thread with D/L Thread.

Sounds simple enough, except I can't find that command anywhere.

Yeah, that's because I messed up in describing it. It's beside Delete Thread when you're in the respective thread. And it's called "D/L" not D/L Thread.

There is also the capability to archive threads.  This exposes all private lines in all messages of a thread, which may be what you want to do prior to downloading?

Archive is a checkbox accessed from the "Edit Thread" menu.

The edit menu already has a checkbox to show private lines in the d/l.
