ALERT -- Please back up all your PM's (read)

Ziroc · 11-29-2006, 02:07 AM

In the coming Month, we will be changing to a new forum software, and PM's do not import. This means if you have PM's that have information, history, or personal significance, and want to keep them, you will have to highlight them with your mouse, and copy and paste them into a new text document, or safe the webpage.

I tried VERY HARD to find a way to import them--even a 3rd party plug-in, but no luck. (I have many I want to keep--like Animal's PM's and others).

Anyway, do this soon. Before January 1st 2007.

Thanks!!

Jeez. Thanks for the warning. I've got posts going back years that I'll need to save.

Sir Goulum · 11-29-2006, 08:19 AM

I assume that all the posts are being transferred too, if I read that right? Just not PM's?

In any case... cool! Thanks for the warning, though I've got no PM's myself worth saving... I can't save something I don't have. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well, there's this PM in my inbox, that was never meant for me, and it won't let me delete it either. It just sits there, annoying the hell out of me. Now it'll finally be out of my way.

Oh man... yeah I've got years of PMs.... what's agood way to back them up? I don't really want to go into each one and cut and paste... That sucks they don't import.

Yeah because of the age of this forum software the PM won't Import. I know Z has been trying to get the conversion across to the new software but its like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

The only real way to back them up would be to cut and past them. If there was another way around it we would let you know.

One Prime Minister is all I need, you can delete the rest!

Cloudbringer · 11-29-2006, 07:22 PM

Ack! Guess I better start now!

Sigh.. really hate to lose the few I still had from Animal, but I'll copy them. [img]smile.gif[/img]
