Resolved Missing private conversations

[Apple_Robert]

I recently looked in my long list of conversions and noticed that a few of the conversions I initiated with current members (who haven’t been banned as far as I can ascertain) have suddenly disappeared and that is concerning, especially since I haven’t deleted anything, Can someone in the ‘know’ shed some light on this mystery?

Edited to add: Disregard and sorr for the trouble. After scanning 3 different times, I found the convos.

Conversations are missing search functionality. I wrote a script to download all the pages of a conversation to do searching externally.

Hi @joevt!

You sent the script once and it is lost in another lost private conversation. Do you mind to repeat the hand out?

This should work:

theurl="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/question-how-powerful-of-a-graphics-card-will-work-in-a-beige-power-macintosh-g3.2303689"
thepath="question"

cd ~
mkdir -p "${thepath}"

user=joevt
password=yourpassword
pagefirst=1
pagelast=32

cookies="$(mktemp -t cookies)"
curl -s -c "${cookies}" -d "login=${user}&password=${password}" "https://forums.macrumors.com/login/login" > /dev/null
for (( thepage = pagefirst ; thepage <= pagelast ; thepage++ )); do
    echo "${thepage}"
    curl -s -b "${cookies}" -L "${theurl}/page-${thepage}" > "${thepath}/page${thepage}.html"
done

Change all of these:
theurl, thepath, user, password, pagefirst, pagelast

Then execute.
