Does anyone know if there is a way in which pages can be downloaded and browsed offline? I have very limited access to the 'net at the moment and this would be a great help to me.

Thanks,

Alex

The only way I know to do this is to view a page and then save it to your PC or select a menu option to "make available offline" or something similar. I don't know a way of saving unopened pages to your PC or BlackBerry.

Alex,

I have managed to save a local copy of the LBVHW by using the "file / save as" option in IE. Not sure if it works across multiple pages though and currently have my arms full of "LB" aka Edward so not in a position to do much!

There are programs that can download entire websites (e.g. webzip) but these might give you some problems regarding how to mark and find new posts since your last login/offline-download.

Thanks for the suggestions. All seem to work to some extent, but I'll keep looking for the perfect solution. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'd be delighted to hear them.

Thanks,

Alex
