read an entire thread at once?
This may be a stupid question... but is there some way to read/download the entire thread (meaning ALL the pages) at one time? I know there's an "archive" view, but what I'd really like is the normal view with all of the posts in one single page. I often try to grab all the pages of a big thread before I fly, but it'd be cool to do it in a simpler way than clicking on each page number individually...

It would be nice, I agree. The actual size of a thread without all the ads and etc is actually not very big even for all but the really largest threads. But if you don't have any ads then flyertalk.com doesn't make any money. Even if you downloaded the ads to read offline, FT still couldn't generate any money.

Hmm... the point is not to dodge the ads, the point is to not have to open 15 different pages to read the whole thread. If it's 100 posts and they need to put 10 ad banners in there I'm 100% fine with that part... I just don't want to have to clicky clicky clicky to get all those pages open. ;-)

It's actually been talked about previously (see THIS THREAD in "Suggestions"), but as you can see in that thread, it's not likely to ever happen, unfortunately.
