Can you search through your PM's?

3 replies
Is there any way to search through your PM's to find a message I got some time back? I got a message from someone with a suggestion and I don't remember the name of that person. I want to go back and check to make sure I have not forgotten anything about what he suggested. But I can find no way to do a search, and scanning through them I don't find it.

Anyone got any suggestions? I tried a site: search on Google but didn't find anything as I doubt that they are indexed.

    Jeez, how many PM's you got... lol

    Your a popular guy your Mom must be proud...

    I don't think there is a search feature for PM's, I just
    looked through every single feature and I don't see it either...

    Oh yea... sorry I don't have a suggestion...

    Tim,

    Your PMs here also go to the email account that is associated with the Warrior Forum.

    If you can remember what the "subject" was about, do a search in your email folder.

    I just did a test on a few keywords myself, and it worked.

    Try that out and let us know how it worked out for you.

    Good luck!

    P.S. I also have a folder in my email account that says "Private Messages". That way, when I need to clean out my Warrior Forum PM folder (due to reaching it's maximum number allowed), you will always have a copy of all your PMs in your email's account folder.

    P.S.S. You will never find a PM (Private Message) using Google as it's just that PRIVATE.

    There is a search feature called "display options" near the bottom, under your messages.
