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.

    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.

    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 :D

    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:
    downloadasxmldj8.png

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

    downloadallaq3.png

    Next go to vBulletin PM Reader and click to Import XML file at the top-left:
    importxmlhv2.png

    Browse to the XML file you just saved and then all your messages should be imported in:
    fullscreenshotni3.png
    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.
