Discourse, the software used by Disroot for Forum, allows you to export the text content off all your posts to a .csv file, (which is supported by most calc/spreadsheet software's, Libreoffice, Openoffice, Gnumeric, Excel).

**To export your posts from Discourse:**

|

|
You will get a message from the system notifying you that the data is ready to be downloaded, and providing you a link to download the .csv file with a copy of your posts.
|
|
If you have enabled notifications via email, you will also get an email with this information. Just press the link to download the file.
|
|
|
|
The data is compressed as a gzip archive. If the archive does not extract itself when you open it, use the tools recommended here: http://www.gzip.org/#faq4
|
|
|
|
The link will be available for 48h, after that it will expire and you will have to export your data again.
|
|
|
|
Once you extract the file you can open it in your spreadsheet program.
