Hi Phil,
In PHPBB speak we have the hierarchy:- Board-forums-topics and posts in order top to bottom.
You can download a complete* topic using the printer icon at the top right of each topic. you can then select either to print on paper or print to a file or create a pdf depending on the drivers installed on your computer.
* this might be limited to the posts in a complete page, so a long topic would mean say creating a number of PDFs and using acrobat to concatenate them into a single pdf document using your own software. Not sure on this detail.
Having a complete topic in editable form does not quite make sense nor is it allowed as it would give access to change other peoples text. Only Mods & admin can do that.
The nearest you can get is to hit the edit button on you own individual post and then select and paste that into a word processor of you choice. This will not give you visible pictures, only the links to where they are located. You can edit away offline and then repost when complete. you need to be careful though as if others have posted in the meantime, your edit may make a nonsense of their post.
Editing is best done in realtime online as you will be alerted to subsequent posts and can re-edit if needed.
Working from fading, senile memory
, I don't think we had anything different on WH1.
Hope this helps
Bob
