Now I'm not sure, but I think in the older code, if you saved a page in html, you saved what you saw. But, nowadays, if you Expand a thread, while it's handy for viewing online, if you intend to SAVE the article that way, it isn't being saved that way at all. Same goes for either I.E. and Firefox. Only way I know of to save a fully expanded thread is by the old messy select-all-copy-paste to a text file ;/
Needless to say I don't expect to be doing that often, but I thought you should know, in case there have been any articles so notable you intended to save em. Chances are, they ain't there :/
