How do I retrieve my old PMs from before the forum change?
I show 120+ PMs in my inbox and sent items, but only a dozen are from the new system. The 100+ PMs I wish to retrieve are from the old forum system, from a couple of years back.

I DO NOT want these deleted btw.

Thanks for any help you can give.

If you can see them, you can save them. The download button should work. I don't have any old PMs though, so I can't do any testing myself.

If they are a couple of years ago, they are probably gone. But select "from the beginning" as your view option instead of the "last 10 days" which is the default. If they are still there, you will find them.

I've tried that Ming. Someone once sent me a link to my old PMs but I don't have it anymore.

Skanky, download doesn't seem to take me there, thanks anyway.

Yes Dissident, sent items, 'from the beginning', yet there are over 100 PMs from the old days not showing.

According to Ming your PM box is full. Time to retire the 'ole Lancer handle and reregister.
