:festive: Saving Your Private Messages to Your Computer

Post by tex »

I don't know if any of you have noticed this before, but several months ago, I added a feature which gives you the ability to export your private messages to your own computer. I apologize for not mentioning it sooner, but I evidently got side-tracked by something else, after I did it, and forgot to point it out.

If your PM Inbox, Sentbox, and/or Savebox are full, but you don't want to just delete the messages without saving them, this feature allows you to save the messages to the hard drive in your own computer, and then you can delete all the messages in your various PM boxes, and free the boxes up for new messages.

It's easy to use. Just create a folder in an appropriate place on your hard drive, and name it "Saved PMs from the MC Board", or some other name that suits your fancy, and then go to your PMs, and click the "Export" button. You should then see a window with several options. If the "Save to Disk" option is not already selected, select it, and then click "ok" You will then see another window which will allow you to browse to the folder that you created on your hard drive. After you navigate to the proper folder, just click "save", and ALL your PMs will be downloaded to that folder, including the Inbox, Sentbox, and Savebox. You can then delete the messatges in each of your PM boxes, and you will once again have plenty of room for new messages.

If you have any questions, or encounter any problems, please don't hesitate to ask.

I hope you're enjoying the New Year, so far.

Love,
Wayne
