You tell me how to backup my messages and tell me that I will receive a message saying that I can now download the message.zip file, BUT you never tell me how or where to go to do the download. Thanks for any help. rhmercer

I'm sorry, but could you explain a little more in depth what you mean?

Sorry, but the forum scripts are maintained by proboards, not by the staff here, so questions about the forum features should go to

support.proboards.com/

I visited the proboards support forum and found that others were reporting the PM message backup feature to be broken and the proboards technical people are working on it. If you continue to have problems, please report them on the proboards forum.

For others who do not know what this post means, it is possible to backup one's private messages. Go to your private message area and click the link to backup the messages. You'll get these instructions:

Backup Personal Messages
From this page you can download a backup of all of your personal messages. You may only use this feature once every 30 days for your account.

Here is the process for downloading a backup of your personal messages:


Click the button at the bottom of this page labeled "Backup Personal Messages."
Your account will be added to a queue for processing. The average time for backups being completed is 2 minutes.
When your personal messages are done being backed up, you will receive a Personal Message in your inbox stating that your messages are ready for downloading.
You have up to one (1) week to download your backup before it is removed from the server.
Our records show that you have not backed up your Personal Messages within the last month, and therefore you may proceed.
