If the threads are short and don’t contain images, like most threads in the course forums, not archiving the topic on archive.org and just copying and pasting to Notepad is a lot quicker. So here’s a guide to do that very quickly. The end result if you were to paste it into a post here would be every post looking like a quote.
Go to https://autohotkey.com/download/ and install it.
Create a Notepad file and call it anything you want. I suggest Autohotkey copying posts.txt paste the below into that:
#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
SetTitleMatchMode 2

Sleep, 300
WinWait, Memrise - Google Chrome,
IfWinNotActive, Memrise - Google Chrome, , WinActivate, Memrise - Google Chrome,
WinWaitActive, Memrise - Google Chrome,
}
return
Save and close it and rename it to: Autohotkey copying posts.ahk
Double-click it to make it active. You should now see a small green “H” icon in the lower-right corner of your screen.
Create another new Notepad file called posts.txt and just keep it open. The posts will get copied to this.
Open Chrome and open any forum threads you want to save.
The Autohotkey script I wrote does the following: when you press F9 it copies anything you have highlighted, goes to post.txt and pastes it there (it also puts [QUOTE][/QUOTE] around the pasted content), it then comes back to Chrome.
So in Chrome, highlight anything you want saved and press F9.
