Needs to have a mass-export feature for those 350 though. 

---

is that even possible?

Yeah, an export feature sounds good but would anyone other than Chrono ever use it? 

---

Well then, it would be a feature for Chrono

WTF? Save one message at a time, with all the extra crap on the page (headers, footers, navigation bar)? You crazy?

Btw, it you'r going to do a export feature, it should be preserving fonts, colors, avatars, images, etc... like html

---

I think I'll do it in HTML and parse the smilies/bbcode in the actual message, but I'm not going to include avatars/sigs in the export. This is just for backing up the private messages. If you want to look at avatars, you can click the usernames to view profiles.

O_O

I hope you're kidding.

Hmm, you should also have a text-only feature, which suppresses images and crap, I suppose...

---

I'll initially just do HTML, then if there's any demand for text-only I can add that.

I would...

Currently I just make a MySQL dump of my PMs... not very readable...

Oh... forgot about the second page of this thread...

Well, maybe I'll just forget about this and let you and Kasper do the work.

Actually, for all we know, RC2 could be ready very soon...but it will just take WDZ a long time to upgrade.

Sounds good all the same.

  WDZ no doubt will be testing RC1 for the next year before he puts it on these forums

Then WDZ would make it, test it, implement it, and surfi would steal it.

@ Johnny_Mac. I have not, and do not intend to steal anything from these forums. I generally have other/better ideas on ways to implement things.

If you guys read on http://surfichris.hosted.tv/?postid=13 you would have noticed RC2 is pending for release this week.

My export feature would contain everything you needed..
- Mass export / Single pm export
- Export as HTML/CSV/TXT.
- Delete messages after exporting
- Export messages from certain folders
- Export PM's older than a certain number of days
- Export unread/read options.

Sounds good to me... I'd be way too lazy to add all that crap.
