save page as, Web Page complete... (solved)

[bambuko]

Quick question, please from newly signed up member.

I often save webpages of interest to me, for reference, for viewing offline at my leisure and/or as a personal backup (having learned in the past that just having a link is not always enough...)

However, for some reason, whatever I do with RMweb pages they do not save in a usable format (it works perfectly OK with other webpages).

I use Firefox 107.0 (64-bit).

 

So, the question:

is it to do with the forum software? or is there something else that is preventing me from being able to do it?

Hi,

 

You might want to look at a full-page screenshot program such as FireShot:

Thank you for the suggestion Martin.

Interesting (and I am sure useful)... but not what I had in mind -  prefer  HTML.

Hopefully someone can tell me why it cannot be done with RNwebforum?

There is an add-on for Firefox which claims to save pages as a single HTML:

Sorry, I don't know if it works (or is safe).

 

cheers,

BINGO 😛

it works...

Thank you Martin!

 

Don't know what is the difference between me doing it manually (i.e. "save page as" in Firefox) and using Add-on, but it works fine.
