Many months ago the issue of saving private messages was brought up somewhere in this mesage board.
For those interested, I wanted to bring to light to all members that utilize the PM feature that you do NOT have to store your PM's on this forum!
It was mentioned that this forum does not allow for storage of a huge number of PM's. Unfortunately vBulletin was not made to scale well and because of the vast number of private messages in the database it can cause issues.
If you want to save them all first you can go to the bottom of the Private Message index to; "Download all Private Messages as:" and select which output you want.
Just thought I'd let you know how to download 'em!
