Private Messaging

Don't know if this has been asked before or if it is not possible for some reason but -
Can we have more space in the PM system please? I mean capacity for more messages to be stored.

For anyone that has experience abusive PM's (not necessarily from willa!), it is possible to stop them by placing the sender on Ignore.

And if needed, forwarding them to admin?

Sorry, sh1305, I don't know what you're on about because your post has nothing to do with the question I've asked.

Can any MSE staff answer my OP please?

Its relatively easy to forward a PM to admin, just copy & paste it into a message addressed to them, letting them know you have included the message.

What has all this got to do with my question??!!

I suspect the reason they wont is it will take up a lot of resources, remember this site has a hell of a lot of members if they allow more room it means more resources need to be allocated

That's fine, I suspected it was something like that, would just like an answer from MSE though.

Have just been trying a little program I found. If people have success with it I'll split this post off and sticky it for a while

vBulletin PM Reader

When you first install it you'll be asked to create a database. I called mine MSE Private Messages and put it in My Documents.

To save your PMs to vBulletin PM Reader -

Go to your PMs page, tick the ones you want to save. Click Download as XML in the menu at the bottom and click Go to save the file somewhere on your computer:

Or you can download all your PMs at once by clicking XML underneath:

Next go to vBulletin PM Reader and click to Import XML file at the top-left:

Browse to the XML file you just saved and then all your messages should be imported in:

Note:

• There doesn't seem to be a way to change the folders on the left. If you want something to be in a folder, you need to do it in the PMs page before the download.
