Issues Downloading Private Messages
its recently come to light that extremely dated PMs are automatically being deleted from the server. i've tried downloading the remaining ones that i have, but everytime i click on one of the options (any of them really), i recieve a "page cannot be displayed" error. i was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this same issue.
i'm using firefox as a web brower. i don't know if that makes a difference, but any assistance or advice would be much appreciated.

i've tried using both firefox and internet explorer as web browers and i still have the same issue. any assistance or advice would be much appreciated.

I was able to download mine as a .csv, but none of the other options worked for me.
I always thought PMs get deleted automatically after a certain time?
I know for a fact that I have a whole ton of old PMs that are no longer in my inbox or any of the folders, and more disappear each day. Something had to have happened to them, and I can count on one hand the number of PMs I've deleted myself.

Regarding the downloading. This may be because you have just too many PMs!
i did have over 2000 pages of PMs, now i only have about a tenth of that. regardless, the amount shouldn't matter.
PMs are being deleted. the issue should be investigated.
Its a bug in the forum software. They consider the "beginning" to be up to 1000 days (i.e. just under 3 years). I'll get onto a fix.
Use this link to see all your PMs until I fix the problem: http://www.killermovies.com/forums/private.php?folderid=0&daysprune=10000

Ahhh thank you...Still can't download them, but at least I still have them all!
Originally posted by Phucked UpPMs have never been pruned (as far as I can remember). In fact, there is no limit on how many PMs you can have.
Yeah, I should have too. I lost a couple years worth.
I have PMs back from 2002, and in the DB there are PMs from when we switched to vB back in 2001.
So either you've found a bug thats not showing PMs properly, or you may have deleted them yourself in the past, which I had done to my own prior to 2002.

I know I deleted some before, but I thought I had some more that disappeared. I'm not 100% on it though.
