Making a backup of a forum
First topic message reminder :
Is it possible for me to download the entire forum (in it's current state), so I can edit its design in offline mode, so I don't mess up with it while it's online?

Whew, lots of responses.
I know I can export the Theme, but what's the use of that when I can't get an instant preview of what I'm doing with the design.
I was thinking something like getting a duplicate of a forum, and make it unaccessible, only to be able to play with its design and structure. And when I get all I want the way I want it, to implement it to the original forum.

Hold one second,
You have forgot one thing and it is impotent .
When making a Export it will not save all files for your theme It ONLY saves,
It DON'T save the following.
All of this has to be saved by hand on to your computer

Nope i think that all of it For the templates we do have a new took installed that will save your templates if you have not already seen it its a little floppy disk icon on the tools in your modded templates so if you made a change to them then it will show there looks like this >> Click that and it will ask you to save the file on your computer you just have to pick where you will save it
