Is there....

Looking back, I sounded somewhat nitpicky, far more than I intended to. The program is excellent, and would recommend it to anybody wishing to save their posts.

The quote thing, as I said, is entirely my fault, it was a mere warning for new members who might use the program later on.
And the ordering by threads is in many ways superior to ordering by date. Maybe since every post contains a date, there is another way to order them by date not necessarily included in this particular program. But that doesn’t really matter.

But it should still be the case for any phpBB board that the mobile skin is served based on useragent, spoofing a common desktop browser should get you the regular site.

I figured it was the user-agent causing that, yes - FUPS provides a URL for its user-agent. I’d prefer not to spoof because I think it’s good etiquette to let webmasters know that a bot’s accessing their site, along with a link to more info on the bot. As I said, I’ve not seen this behaviour on any other phpBB board before.

@Carleas

But it is totally unreasonable that a thousand requests over an hour would tax the server

I wouldn’t presume to know why your web server’s so sluggish, but one thing you can do if you haven’t already to dramatically improve PHP speed is to enable opcode caching. Chances are high that you’ve already done that though.

@Arbiter of Change

Yeah it’s decent, one drawback IMO: - It doesn’t allow the option to sort your posts by date

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, there really should be other output options, I’ve been aware of that for a while now, and your comment gave me the kick in the pants that I needed to finally implement them. I wrote the original script out of which this one evolved for a friend who paid me to write it, so I simply coded the output as he personally wanted it. Now that the script is publicly available, it should cater to different personal preferences.

Here’s the new success screen:

Again, anyone who for some strange reason wants to see the changes I made to the code to get this working can view the commit on GitHub; it’s commit f85211594d7ecd4c71fd3aa70c981ce2845d40cf.

@Arbiter of Change

Another thing which I don’t like, but is entirely my fault, is that I don’t know who posted the posts which I replied to and quoted

One way to solve this problem (and offer a useful feature in general) would be to provide an option to download the entirety of each thread in which the user was involved. Someone else has asked for this feature already, I just haven’t gotten around to implementing it yet.

The other missing feature of which I’m keenly aware is image scraping.

@phyllo

Thank you to Laird for coming here and fixing some problems with the program.

No worries. If I’m going to offer a script, I might as well offer one that works, otherwise I’m not really offering anything at all.

Hey, no need to second-guess yourself, you were totally right about the need for more output options. But I do appreciate your positive comments, so, thanks.

If anyone has any further feedback, or any other suggestions, please let me know.
