backup of forum PMs
Posted: Fri Jun 29, 2012 11:15 pm
On the forum's private messages thing, there is an "Export this view" button at the bottom with these options:
- Export as CSV
- Export as CSV (Excell)
- Export as XML
I guess this allows me to export my Private messages. Ok so i export a file. And i open it (in Google-Docs, but i imagine it's the same in any other spreadsheet software)
How do i use this? I mean i tried the 2 CSV ones and they each gave me a spreadsheet where the formatting was all screwed up. Sometimes the topic field is the first field, sometimes not. i don't know howto use this. help?
try it yourself.
TL;DR: How do i attain a backup of my PMs that is usable to me as a person
