@halvar: fantastic tool.

1) very minor suggestion, maybe too cosmetic to even bother?: you create a folder for the thread & inside that folders for posts with images to save.

I made the mistake of first testing your tool (1.10) on a thread with a very long title, so I've got post folders each with very long titles inside the thread folder with a very long title, i.e.:

thread folder:
t33256-###_Marlon's_'Don't_know_where_else_to_put_them'_s mall_vintage_sets_Vintage_Erotica_Talk

post folder:
t33256-p15-###_Marlon's_'Don't_know_where_else_to_put_them'_s mall_vintage_sets_Vintage_Erotica_Talk-post-146-576111

The post folders only need: thread id, page, then post id.

Strictly, the post folders really only need the post id, as that is canonical on vef, but the thread id & page are perhaps helpful/reassuring for "humans"?

When re-upping one can simply "visit" post ids:
Code:
http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/showthread.php?p=NNNNN
so technically no need to "know" the page, etc.

2) a more serious problem: it seems to have found only 2 posts in that entire thread with imagebam or imgbox images?

p=576111, p=636725.

but there are posts immediately below that second post that also have imagebam images, for example p=636727, but they have not had their images saved?

I do not think I accidentally "stopped" your tool from completing its task--it got all 312 pages, but seemingly stopped with just 2 posts with images.

I tried to re-run the tool on the same thread but no change/additions.
