Here's A Way Around The 10 Private Message Limit! (pics)

Ok, if you're like me, you're tired of trying to decide and keep track of what 10 inbox and sent messages you will keep or delete. You get 10 total, that's it.

Here's a work around that will work and thought I'd share it with you in hopes it will alleviate some of those decision headaches when it comes to private messages!...

The first thing I did is go to my desktop and created a folder. I named it <Warrior Forum Messages> See below:



I then went into that folder and created 2 more folders. One is for the Inbox messages and the other for the Sent messages. I named them <WF-Inbox Messages> and <WF-Sent Messages> See below:



So now let's say you're running out of room, close to 10, and now what do you do? On the upper left side of your screen you will see in the red colored area "User CP". If you click that, a dropdown menu will show. Click "Private Messages". See below:



Now you will be in your Private Message area of your control panel. If you look to the bottom right, you will see a box that is pre-filled to say "Move to folder...". If you click the dropdown arrow, you will see a list of options. See below:



From there I decide what Inbox message(s) or Sent Message(s) I want to download to those folders I showed above. I just "Download as TEXT". When you do that, you will see an option to what folders to download to.

So now I can keep more of the messages I want, only that there in folders on my desktop now!

I hope you find that useful.

    Just pay the one off fee of $37 to join the war room and you then have access to 500 pms at a time. That is one of the smallest but still great benefits of being a member. The unbelievable knowledge you can accumulate is also worth it in every way.

    That's a lot of trouble to save $37 which gives you far more benefits than just more pms.

      No, definitely not interested right now. And I knew those type replies would be coming too!

      I have way too much on my plate right now. I must have several dozen ebooks purchased that I never read yet. I have several WSO's that need to be read, started or worked on. I have sites to develop, other purchased IM, SEO and WebDesign packages I bought to review, etc, etc, etc. Yes, I believe there is a lot of info there at the War Room, but if one doesn't have the time, then there's no time. I will be there at some point, but not this week. LOL! There are literally hundreds of threads I'd like to read here, but don't have the time.

      By the way, it takes me less than a minute to download any message, so there's no time there in doing that! :p

        It's a good workaround if you're not going the War Room route.

      If the only way you can get value from the WF is via PM's, then you're using it wrong.

      Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
      So that blind people can hate them as well.

        Despite Whateverpedia's point which is spot on, what makes you think someone will want to have private messages when all they know about you is you're hiding your identity and calling yourself drb16153?

        If you can't find value here, having been here since January, other than sending people PM's as an anonymous person whose name is a jumble of words and numbers, you're probably wasting your time.
