Save your PMs from the DML

[Pakhan]

They have brought back all your old PMs.

To save your PMs offline here is what you do:

1. Check the top so all of the PMs on that page are checked.
2. On the bottom is an option to download as a "CSV" file, this just means excel
3. It will bring up a temp copy in excel and you can save them on your comp.

I had about 3k PMs.  That would a lot of crap to download.

Oh well..all the important people are over here anyway!!

It's not too bad.

Save it in the format Pakhan mentions, and each PM becomes 1 row of an Excel spreadsheet.

Big plus - the "date" column is pre-formatted. wt:

Thanks for the hint.

I've saved them all and deleted them from the site.

Now if you can find some magic way to delete every message I've ever posted on the site, all would be right with the world.

it probably took you longer to compose that post than it would to download your PMs.
