PM Mailbox

[Serack]

I understand that last year the servers were pretty heavily bogged down from an undiscarded archive of years worth of posts and stuff that have since been shed, and that unlimited or large PM mailboxes could easily contribute to similar problems.

When I was a new poster I never even realized that I couldn't use a personalized avatar until after I hit > 100 posts.  Now I am wondering if it is possible to give members of higher tiers slightly expanded mail boxes?

I'd rather not. I'm not running a mailserver, here!

[Serack]

ok.  I guess I've gota give up hoarding some of the ones I have now.  Thanks for the response.

You could copy them into a Word document or something and save them.

You can save them as a webarchive. I did that at the first purge. And I need to do it again.

What's a webarchive, Shecky?

[Chiroptera]

It's where spiders keep all of their old homes after they build new ones.

Bleargh, looks for pun dumpster.
Now don't go scaring Shecky off with talk of the 8 legged ones, Chiro.

Guess I shoulda asked here rather than a PM.

hmmm, do you mind telling me how you went about doing this?

In your browser (I have IE here and Safari at work, so yours may be different), choose Save as then Save as type; webarchive should be an option. Do it for each page of PMs. At work, they came up looking EXACTLY like my inbox had before clearing.

Yeah, I THINK that's how I did it. And I need to do it again.
