I've been trying to download a whole thread, but I found out that there are certain limitations. The option "download a thread" saves the whole thread as unformatted text, but what's worse the quotes are missing from posts. The "show printable version" works better, as it keeps the formatting, but it splits the whole thread to more pages. I've been trying to find a way around this, and I think that I've got something.
From the Thread Tools you choose show printable version. There's a nifty Firefox addon called PageZipper, after you have installed it, you turn it on, it should join all the pages of the thread automatically. Then you save the page as complete WebPage.
I converted it to a custom pdf (though it should not be a prob to put it to mobi too), loaded it on my cybook and was quite satisfied with the outcome -- the quotes are there, the structure and formatting was retained; the emoticons don't show as pictures though, but as words in colons.
I dunno if this will be helpful to anyone but me, I hope so. Maybe there's a simpler way how to do it.
