Logging BB discussion

Is there some way to "grab" the discussion text on a bulletin board?

Newbie -- appologies if this is a dumb question or in the wrong place or whatever.

I'd like to capture bulletin board conversation for a data analysis project. Is there a simple way to do this? I don't manage the site for which I want to grab the data, but it uses phpBB.

much thanks --

You should ask this question in the phpbb.com forums. I'm sure they would help you.

Hello Roxy

Welcome to WebmasterWorld

No such thing as stupid question, although I think I have come close a few times :)

WRT your question. Copy and Paste then a find and replace. Oo are you looking for something little more automatic.

Cheers

Thanks for the replies

I'm looking for something more automatic. I'd need to log the data over a couple of weeks at consistent times throughout the day. Once the data is in a file, I'll parse it with some simple script.
