Saving PMs

[Mercutio]

Is there any mechanism available to batch-save PMs?

There is a button on the bottom right that says "saved marked". Just check off all that apply and click the "saved marked" button.

If you mean to save them outside of SF, then no, not right now.

Hmph. Like a PM:POP3 or PM:IMAP interface would be that tough.

Having run out of PM space months ago, I have been forced into the tedious method of cutting and pasting into a text file, one at a time. Yuk.

phpBB 2.1?

I looked through the mods but I don't see anything related. I can ask if someone has something in the works that would allow for moving PM's to e-mail.

One thought I had which is a mod on Merc's is to have the forum e-mail a PM, or a range of PM's to the e-mail address listed in the users profile. My only concern with this is spamming. If Tannin was to send all 50 saved PM's to his inbox, that would generate a load on the e-mail system. I don't know if the provider would complain, but it's a thought.

As a temporary solution I've increased the inbox to 100 saves (it was 50). I didn't know this was a problem, thanks for bringing it up.

We aren't full of members right now, so this shouldn't be a performance hit. The database is big for the number of members we have, but we have plenty of room to grow.

The database is big for the number of members we have. That's because of all the largiloquence going around.
