I´m confused as allways ;) I´m sure I saw something about be able to download/save your pm´s (maybe as some sort of VIP) but I can´t find that now. Anyone who can point me?

At the very bottom left of your PM page, you will find this:

Simply mark the checkboxes on the right of all the messages you want to save/download (or you can use the "Mark All" feature on the bottom right to select them all) and then select one, and click on the "Export this view" button.

I forget which, but one of these formats can be opened by any text editor (notepad, wordpad, etc.). I usually try all of them because I can never remember which one it was! :lol:

I tried what Bohica explained. I tried that one to exel and it opened the file but it wasn´t readable :( All PM´s stacked together in some sort of none logic mess. How should it look when I get it to work? What if I only want to save a few?

Ok, it's not perfect and you will have to do some sorting/clean up of the info.

I did not realize it saved every PM regardless of what you check marked. A way around this is to make a separate folder and only move the ones you want to save to that folder. Then go to that folder and download whatever PMs you have moved there. You can do this here:

Just make a new folder and give it a name. Note that I have one named "Redo". This is for re-up requests. But you can name them whatever you like, like "Saves" or "To be downloaded" or whatever. :D

This is what I ment by "unlogical mess":

Image

Here I´ved used the exel option, and I´m sorry, I can´t read that. Even when I know what it should say :S

The first CSV-option (export as CSV) is for text editors, and that absolutly readable but not perfect :)

Ok, this is the version I meant. Like I said, readable but not perfect. Basically, just a raw download of the PM messages, but with a little sorting/cleaning up you can have a saved copy of the more important ones. Best we got, I'm afraid. :D
