Susan C. Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Is there any way we can have more saved messages allowed? I am on another forum that is literally the same set up as this one (same blue, same font, really looks the same) and you are allowed 500 PM's in your box! I don't have to have 500..... but 100 might be nice since I am 95% full and don't want to get rid of any! Pretty please?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impish Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 A reward system would be good...each climb up the ladder = x# of more pms saved... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elegantlion Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 More PMs, less PMS. Maybe we could make a promise to the mods. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Out of curiostiy, why doesn't one just copy and paste the PMs one wants to save into a Word (or Works) file? It is a fairly simple job to then sort said PMs into various folders/categories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Well, I'll be the lone dissenter! NO, please!! :001_smile: Gosh, I have enough to manage on my desk and in my email inbox. I love being able to clear out so quickly and easily here, and feel like I've accomplished a major clean up with just a few clicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I file digital things elsewhere (other than the place they originated) I "lose" them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter's Moon Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but you can save all of them as different types of files. I save them as text files when I'm getting close to 50 PMs. You just click the box on the top that checkmarks all of them and then go to the drop down where you can move, delete, etc. and choose save at .txt or something like that and just save them on the computer. I have a separate WTM folder on my laptop and I copy those to my flash drive in case my computer crashed. You can either save the sent messages separately from the inbox or save them all together by clicking the box that high lights them all in the inbox and then going to saved and clicking the box that high lights them all. They should all be highlighted (from saved and inbox) and just go to the drop down and choose to save. It should tell you how many you are doing what to at the time so if you're trying to save both the saved messages and inbox at the same time make sure you are saving the number of PMs you have. If that makes sense. If this was already mentioned or shot down, :leaving: I imagine that allowing more PMs to be saved would mess with the bandwidth (but honestly, I have no idea whatsoever about that stuff.) :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spy Car Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Uh, no, I kind of imagine there's a lot of :001_huh:, :w00t:, :hurray: and :001_tt1: going on right now. Not at all. Saving PMs as text is a pain and all the search functionality is lost. A bigger PM box would be highly appreciated by me. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubrey Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I ran out of space, too. But I saw at the bottom that I could save them to a text file, and I did that, and it has been fine. I have referred to the text file a couple of times, so I'm glad I could save them that way. Just in case the answer is "no." :iagree: This is what I do. They're hard to search if you need to look through them later, but otherwise, it works fine. I can't imagine deleting some of the sweet words you guys have sent. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_melody_ Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Once you download your PM's as XML, you can use this application to access them on your own computer. It makes them searchable. It's actually easier to find them once they are in the Reader application than it is to find them on a forum, because you can sort them just by clicking on the column headers at the top of the PM listing. It's not perfect, but it does work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You! I have a clean inbox for about the first time ever!! (In fact, I got so excited about the whole process that I moved and deleted 2 messages I was supposed to reply to, I had to look up their names and reply since I had deleted all the messages from my inbox.)

ElizabethB Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 No Mac version. Boo hoo. Bill There is always [edit] [find] and the little spotlight thingy. I wouldn't find half my files if I didn't have spotlight. Of course, I might be a tad more organized if it wasn't so easy to find my poor unorganized, waylaid files with spotlight. My husband made me my own page, he likes more order on his page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelanieM Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I haven't read all the replies, so please forgive me if this as been suggested already... I think it would be nice to include this as a paid membership upgrade, along with some other bells and whistles. It can be a nice an income generator to help pay for site hosting costs. I've implemented similar things on a couple of vB forums (one of them quite large) and would be happy to outline the process for admin if needed. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dm379 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I guess I'm more unpopular than I thought. :tongue_smilie: I very rarely get PMs so no need for that here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
