I can't find an obvious way to save the personal messages before deleting them.  Is there a way to do so?

Copy and paste them into a word document on your computer?

Not with 100 of 'em.  Most boards have an "export to XML or TXT" option.  Just don't see one here.

I just tried the following.

Go to your PM's - I'm guessing that you'll have about 4 pages of them if you're full up.  Go to Page 1.

Right click on the "Inbox" link.



Select 'save as' (sorry, I can't do a delayed screen capture on this machine - so no dropdown menus) and name it whatever you want - e.g. PM_todays_date_pg_1of4.htm, wherever you want.  It saves the whole page.  Not that clean, but it's something.

I could see no obvious way to export them.

Thanks, Bill.  Glad it's not just me.

I mostly like to keep PMs regarding selling gear.  Guess I'll sort those through, then do the HTML save you outline.
