BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Export PMs?

Is there any option to export private messages to one's own computer?
Could you make it possible?

I don't think it's actually possible...just a good old fashioned copy and paste job.

A very tedious job ;-)

There are other boardhosts like phpbb that offer such option, maybe you could ask our host?

Probably, but that would involve starting a whole new message board, which isn't really a practical option either.

I'm not thinking of transferring somewhere else, just of asking if ours could implement that useful feature as well

**Posted by Sherlock Holmes** June 17, 2013 4:16 pm

OK, I'll ask them!

To paraphrase John from the first episode:

"No one ever PMs me."

I do hope for you that wasn't a mistake. The limit is 1000.
