What about RTs or World Building Threads? If we bump them will they stay or do I have to recreate them?

This has existed in threads for around a year now, just click on the three dots at the top of your thread and click them - it will create a menu and you can find it at the bottom.
I would recommend grabbing the first 500, and go to the page where the 501 post would begin, going to that page in the DM, and trying the export again. I am not sure what the process will do, because the other option I can suggest is deleting those posts you have saved now (not the first one), and running that export again.

In public facing threads, as long as they have activity from some time in 2025, they should be safe. This can be an edit, or a live post.
Anyone have any practical advice if Ctrl + P doesn't work my device? Can export fine but keyboard doesn't cooperate
Just save page as HTML (complete), in the web browser menu.
Ctrl+P will print to PDF, but I prefer not to use this method because PDF files can become very large. It's not very efficient.

Right click and select 'print'.

I have updated the original post to reflect image walkthroughs of following the process.
Note; your export may look a little funky, note that this is because of the styles/profiles, and should not impact any of the text/images in the exported page.

So, even on desktop, I am not able to start exporting at post 501. I pull the first 500, go to the page where 501 would begin, but it always takes me to the very beginning! Any assistance is appreciated!

You should be entering that page number when prompted at the start of the export process.
It doesn't give me the option to enter a page number. It just takes me straight to it. I'm doing this out of DMs (probably a helpful piece of info XD)

Heck! Okay. Let me do some research. I think deleting earlier messages may be the best course of action, but let me do some digging to figure out the best steps to take.
I'd prefer it if that didn't happen! Trying to pull our brainstorming session so I can refer to ideas and plot points working towards! XD
Yeah I can do it in batches, but if we're deleting old messages then I'd like to pull them in batches and make sure nothing gets deleted that hasn't been pulled yet

I am unable to save a batch after 500. Is there a way?
Not yet, I think it's being worked on.
I had a small question! If we want to post a new RT for 2026 onward, can we do that and have the old one marked for deletion before this goes through?

You can actually delete your own thread if you want to start fresh, and not need to wait!

I am struggling to find a work around besides saving the first 500, deleting a chunk of them once they are saved, and then running the export again.
If either of you are willing to let me do some testing - add me to your messages/let me know which DMs you are trying to export, and I will see what I am able to do from the position of admin!

Added you to one that isn't currently active just so we can test (already pulled the first 500). If it works, I can add you to one that is active! 🙂

Thank you!
I was able to use that as a test to increase the limit - you should now be able to get up to 1000 posts on one page! It looks like the full page was showing for me when I tried exporting that log. Could you try for me ?
Can confirm, was able to export the whole thing.
Is the 1000 limit applicable to all now?
Edit: I see that it is. Thank you!
