You can try this [bookmarklet](https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/99a399fe-f2b8-4f12-8dfe-4bdef4550362) (AI-coded). Just drag it into your browser’s bookmarks bar and then click it inside the thread you’re interested about. It will load all the pages of that thread in a special lightweight format (JSON) and then show you all the participants and their posts.
