      Sorry forgot about this request.

      I'll look into it. However the db is already getting too large for comfort.

      As a different option, I think I saw a mod for downloading your PM's - would that be a suitable alternative?

            Well here is the deal, I think there is a hack to allow that in the current version.

            vBB3 has it as a native function, but I don't have time to rework the news page etc until about xmas.

            I'll take a peak on the weekend, and see how easy the hack is and go from there.

              I wonder, would there be a hack that would allow some 'forwarding' functionality: pm messages are directed to your mailbox?

              (but the ability to save messages would already be great)

                A successful upgrade would be nice rather than continuing to hack this out-dated release. Maybe you can upgrade when you find the time and get rid of most of the hacks so you can maintain/upgrade the site more easily.

                  Quite simply, the reason I can't just *upgrade* is because of the news/frontpage system.

                  There is no package out there that works quite the way we want

                    Euhm, call me stupid (THIS IS JUST AN EXPRESSION ), but in what way does what we want differ from the new release?

                      @stupid - we want one *without* a news page, as there isn't likely to be any Matrox news

                        The front page is a php nuke port, but it has some customizations that I did that need to be ported to whatever version I upgrade to.

                          I was expecting something like that, the only remaining question (which now has been answered) was: who will be the perpetrator...


                          Sasq: Thanks!

                              Hehe, not quite.

                              @Sasq: Downloading PM's would be great, always had to get rid of some old PM's when I wanted to keep them. If you can do that, I'd use it for sure!
