    Question Disable print view?

    Given the nature of the forum there are often threads where the last word in the title is 'print'. This results in the thread being displayed in a print friendly view that can't be replied to. Can this feature be turned off? Hoping Aneurysm can provide an answer.

    In these cases.. I simply PM that user, inform them of the 'glitch' in the CTN software and request them to "repost" the issue again W/O the word Print as the final word in the title...

    printing - printed work instead of just "print"

    MOST users that check their PM's will comply with my PM.

    This is an old 'glitch'. Sure it's annoying but I would think if it was easy fix Aneurysm would take care long time ago.

    Re: Disable print view?

    I know this is an old thread, but I found a fairly easy solution to this, my apologies if this has been posted already.

    Just remove '-print' from the url.

    It worked for the thread I was looking at, seems to show the same thread without the print view.

    ie. https://www.copytechnet.com/forums/r...opy-print.html

    change it to

    https://www.copytechnet.com/forums/r...lack-copy.html

    and that seemed to fix it.

    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    Tried same thread also plus one another, both didn't appear to workaround. Would check them later on PC(not phone).

    I tried the one I posted from a PC and it didn't work, FWIW.

    Re: Disable print view?

    Interesting, so it seems to only work on threads where the URL ends in -print but if the title itself ends in print then it won't work...

    I'll see if I can get a work around that.

    EDIT: can't seem to find a way to work around the print version however if you want to reply to a post on one of these threads I've discovered you can type this in

    https://www.copytechnet.com/forums/n...1394&noquote=1

    where the t=xxxxxx is the number at the start of the url you are trying to view (for example this thread would be 146356)

    You can try for yourself, try clicking that link and see if it lets you reply to the link you posted above.

    Seems like an awfully long workaround but hey at least its something.

    Well, I'll be darned. That works and like you said, at least it's something. Still might be easier to just PM the OP and have them start a new thread. On the other hand, one could use this hack to reply to the thread ending in "print" and let them know to post another thread.

    Now, how in the heck am I going to remember this with CRS!?

    I guess I could just come back to this thread and copy/paste using the correct post # in the URL.
