Copy paste them to a word document and export it to PDF.
You can even keep the exact look if you are using windows. Type "snip" into the search bar and it will bring up a tool that can take photos of your screen as a PNG. Open the post you want, snip it, put the photo in a word doc, and export to PDF.
In times of yore, there was a mystical text that did this. But some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth.
How do we download our posts? I'd like to download my posts. Thanks
With this software it can't be done. Yet another reason we should move to something better. It's possible that PlushForums will send me the posts of a single member if I ask them nicely.
I did find a way to export some things but it's only for specific pages you want to keep. For instance, I'm using the Pocket app so I can read the short stories on my e-reader.
Each page of comments in your profile shows 40 comments. Any programmer should find it easy to write a script to go through the pages and scrape the comments and put them in a text file:
I hope the forum adds the posts download feature soon. Thanks to all those who've commented and tried to lend a helping hand. I'll try out the few suggestions that were given. Good day.

Even if you can't download your posts they are on the site permanently, so you can access them. If you were to download all your threads it would probably fill a complete kindle. It would be 'The Collected Works of Madfool.'

You don't need a special feature for this.

I tried this:

But it just shows the first page of posts.

https://thephilosophyforum.com/profile/comments/126/themadfool/40
https://thephilosophyforum.com/profile/comments/126/themadfool/80
And so on.
It probably won't happen.

I gues they are saving it forever lol
Because they want to control our data... It is so scary.
And when I click the link to 'Feedback' it does nothing.
It got deleted. See fdrakes response to my post in the Shoutbox.
