Title: Export PM
Post by: Mr Keshy on April 28, 2013, 10:51:04 pm: Just a thought, since some of us might either exceed our limit, or want to delete our PM's off the forums, I think a nice addition would be a feature to export to XML or HTML.

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=627

Something like that?

Weak effort, pi. I've got 45, and you've been around for ages!

Maybe something to do with your basket-weaving.

Post by: b^3 on April 28, 2013, 11:41:45 pm: Could be because the rest of you guys are mods?

EDIT: Shinny beat me to it.

Even simpler - make everyone admins. Then you can add this suggestion yourself. :P

Oh okay. I was just using it as an example, I'm sure there's another mod lying around on the interwebz though, just a matter of finding it, and seeing if people would find it useful.

I would also like the export functionality. The ability to ( export --> back up to Gmail ) would mean I can search through all the PMs when someone asks a repetitive question.
