in other words instead of something like this that loads 30-50 posts at a time

hxxp:smfinstance.com/index.php?action=profile;u=xxxxx;area=showposts;start=xxx [nonactive]

something that would load all the posts into one page so they could be more easily archived?

TIA

that did what i would expect it to do, download profile attributes.

I'm looking for a simple method to output all posts in order to archive

In 2.1, it allows you to download all messages & PMs.

Are you asking for 2.0 or 2.1?
