I've got a phpbb forum and I'd like to save/download the posts to html format.
I've tried offline explorer (I think) but it didn't do what I wanted, and was wondering if you guys have any recommendations for software that can do it easily(ish)

Many thanks

I really have no idea exactly how to do it but I would presume it could be done with some sort of (My)SQL query.
 
Just an idea off the top of me head - is there any sort of RSS feed?
Write a script that grabs the feed and saves it out into a HTML file - could be done quite easily with PHP or Perl (only saying those 2 as I use them)

Not to my knowledge, no.

Totally beyond me I'm afraid, I know nothing of either language. What I've done, I've had a starting point and just tinkered until it looked right.
 
If you do find it, take a look at PHP SimpleXMl (or something like that), you can grab RSS feeds and write them out as anything you want with about 10 lines of code :)
 
Cheers... there is a mod to do it, but I'm gonna have to do it at home when I've got no distractions, as it requires editing fairly major chunks of the forums php.
