Hi,

First time posting there so first of all thank you for the amazing work you and other contributors have done. I have been using FFF as a plugin for Calibre for a couple years now and it is great!

I have read the FAQ and tried searching on the forum and I think I have an issue that as not been addressed already:

When trying to download With this Ring on QuestionableQuesting FFF will only download posts that have a threadmark however the author makes a post every day and only adds a threadmark when a new chapter begins. So in the end the resulting epub only contains the first ~20% of each chapter. (it actually took me an embarrassing 5 chapters to realise that it wasn't just one of those stories that starts with a confusing sequence of flashes :D)

(https://forum.questionablequesting.c...ory-only.8961/)

In an attempt to see if I could easily fix that I forked the code and had a look. And I cannot :p

Please feel free to disregards/burn my ideas but I think the solution must come in two parts. First there need to be a way to toggle that new behaviour on or off. Then FFF needs to be able to find and download all the relevant posts.

I think there are multiple ways to achieve this:
For the toggling either a tag in the book metadatas or more simply adding a parameter in the url like (?only_tm=False)

Then for finding the relevant posts I think both toggling methods would enable a choice between "get every post by the author" or "get every post in the thread"

Thanks again for everything, I hope this is something that you think is doable and useful enough to be included in a future update :)
