Couldn't you use ordinary email for important things?

How would PMs be lost if your PC crashes?

I don't have a printer.

If you get so many PMs with important information, surely it would be better to print them (or copy and paste them into a document then print them) and put them in a ring binder.

If your PC crashed they'd all be lost otherwise.

It doesn't take long to preview a post. Apart from the really, really long ones.

Doesn't everyone delete PMs once you've read 'em? Seems easy enough to me.

Why can't you preview first. If you're really that worried.

I don't know of any other forum where you can't edit what you've said, so I don't understand that. I feel we should have some sort of control over what we say and have the right to amend it if we feel we have written something incorrectly. Why would it cause havoc to be able to do so?

The PMs system is a bit messy blush and updating it is something that's been in the pipeline for a while. It requires a lot of work so we've been holding off while we get other things sorted (like the Local etc). We'll take a look at it again soon though, as we agree, it's not very user friendly.

As for deleting/editing your own posts - it's not really something we're looking to implement, mainly because it would cause complete havoc. You're welcome to ask us to remove a post for you (by reporting it to us).

I often want to look back at some information I got in a pm and as I get a lot it takes ages to go through them all. Would it not be possible for us to have some method of putting in a name and getting all the pms we had received from that member
We also very much need a delete/edit button for posts.
Any response, technical folk?
