If you want your PM's, back them up...

[Rod]

I've posted two notices already, however I want to make sure everyone is aware... PM's will be deleted within the next couple of weeks. I highly advise you back them up now if you want to keep them. The new forum software will be installed very soon, and in order to install it I need to drop the PM table in the database, otherwise the conversion process will take days.

Thanks for the heads-up!
Do you have a specific date for the upgrade?

Thanks for the heads up Rod, I keep forgetting. I'll do it right now. I'm looking forward to the upgrades!

Thanks my fellow Nutmegger for the archive tip - hadn't used that before. Very easy.

You're welcome.

It's not like the admin knew about that feature and just told folks to make sure they back up their PM's....and then just went about his business.

Jeez! I hope I never have to actually get info out of those archives. What a mess!

Rod,

How long does it take to receive the e-mail with the attachment? I did it yesterday and I still haven't gotten them yet.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Mine was in my email inbox literally 30 seconds later. I used the HTML option...not sure if that matters or not. Maybe try again.

The Excel option was near instantaneous for me yesterday.

Uh oh...maybe they are being blocked by AOL? I just did the HTML version and nothing came through either.

I assume you've checked your bulk/spam folders? I also assume you haven't changed your email address since registering--really, who is switching to AOL these days?

yup

nope

I hear you there Steve

I've had this same e-mail addy since Al Gore invented the Internet :laugh:

I'll try my gmail addy that I hardly use and see if that works.

Thanks

Same here. Mine were in the email box in a minute.
I used my gmail address and it went right through.
