Need a Print Thread option

[trman]

I have had requests from several users who want a printer friendly option for printing a thread, however there is none. The "add this" thing only seems to print out 1 page of the thread.

So we need a "print thread" option under "thread tools" to allow a printer friendly version of the entire thread to be printed, just like VB3 had. I was really surprised that it wasn't included as default in XenForo.

I did a search with "print thread" specified and titles only and found nothing, thus the suggestion.

Google Chrome and Edge will both allow "Print to PDF" straight from the browser (if that's an option).

Yes - but not a clean good looking version. I think a cleaned print over some style changes would be the clearly better way.

Hello, we need a detailed print page in the admin panel, which includes sections that control and select what will be printed on the page we will print (logo, topic title, topic ID, Message, custom topic fields, warnings area at the bottom, etc.). Xenforo does not yet have such a detailed print plugin.

Agreed. Some other sites out there (not forums) let you print the main part of the page stripped of all elements except for perhaps a logo and any included photos. A good example is a food recipe site--you get a clean version to print out, minus all the other stuff (and minus the ads) that is a lot more readable.
