Backing up PM inbox

Post by Xenocide »

I like to keep records as best I can, and am running out of room in my inbox and saved box.

Is there some way to back up these messages (preferably without having to copy/paste them individually)?

I feel like I should know this, having run a phpBB board before, but it's one of those thing I never had to do.

No native functionality in phpBB2, although v3 adds export capability to several different text file formats for archiving.

I've got v3 running on a private server for debugging and testing, seems pretty solid so making the switch is not too far off...

Anyway, for the meantime I have bumped the save box limit to 300 messages. That should help.

Awesome! Thanks Justin, that's very thoughtful and helpful.
