Hello forum-savvy folks!

I have a rather foreboding bold message up beneath my notifications thinger, telling me that my PM box is 90% full. I'm kind of a packrat though and like to keep correspondences...

Is there any way that I can archive these messages? Or do something other than just trash them?

Edit: I'm basically just kind of lazy and don't want to take the time to figure something out for myself......you don't mind, right? :biggrin: (how can you resist that smile??)

There are options to export your private messages into three different file formats:

* XML
* CSV
* Text

I normally download mine in 'text' and save them to a folder on my hard-drive. Once you have done this, you can delete your messages (make sure you do both your incoming and sent messages).

Look in your inbox - select all your messages - bottom right hand of your screen you will see 'selected messages' - click on the file format that you will prefer and as we say in blighty... bob's your uncle :razz:

Oh dear...I have this very strange, incredibly empty feeling...yet perhaps liberating?

At least I no longer have that bold message staring me in the face!

Thanks, TF (and Uncle Bob)!! xD

lol... pleased to help :biggrin: I have kept every single one of my pm's since day dot :eek: No reason other than I like to be organised (and am a bit of a hoarder :rolleyes:). I can't remember the last time I looked at them though - lol.

Aw brilliant Clocky, thanks for the info. :) I don't remember that option being there before... perhaps I'm blind :biggrin:

I've lost count of the number of times my inbox has filled up and me not bothering to copy/paste messages. That includes having 201 messages (http://www.isketchforum.net/showpost.php?p=188114) ;)
