Export my full PM Inbox

Recommended Posts

Getting sick of trying to thin down my Inbox and Sent Items each time it fills up.

I want to keep records of various discussions, permissions, author sources of models/textures etc etc ..... but finding it hard after this many years to delete.

Any know frontoffice or backoffice way to simply export ALL PMs to say a HTML file or something? (without having to cleck on each and every PM) ?

there are programs that can save the html to disk, with a pre-set depth level. So if you go to you inbox and use such a tool you should be able to save all messages to your inbox. (im not sure about if there are pages in the inbox, I only have 40 messages or smth.)

This seem to do the job:

Screenshot every permission post?

Like

Permissions_Gnat.jpg

Permissions_SnakeMan.jpg

Placed on relative dirs where your project are located, or even add it like "Permissions_AddonName_Author.jpg" style. Works nicely.

A PM from author granting you permission is useless, who can you show it in direct form from your inbox? Nobody. A screenshot you can show to everyone.

If you use firefox you could use DownThemAll or ScrapBook.

- with DownThemAll I was able to safe the plane html of the messages, but the embedded pictures, .css-files aren't saved (so if the forum-design is changed, the saved files look perhaps a little broken)

- with ScrapBook I was able to save all my messages in my inbox including all embedded (and optional linked) files

I started both in my inbox and used something like

- for DownThemAll: *act=msv

- for ScrapBook: act=msv

for filtering.

If needed I can give more information.

If you can wait for the new forums, vBulletin can export PMs as XML, CSV or plain text.
