Is there a way to do a keyword search of PMs, like you can do for the forum posts? |

PMs are kept extremely private. I asked Patty, our fearless leader, years ago if the administrators of the forum could read PMs and she said NO, they are private. I know that this is not exactly the same thing as you are asking but it might give a clue why the search feature does not work; the sever software simply was not designed to work in the private PMs. If you want to search for something specific would the built-in search feature of what ever browser you are using help you? Only problem is you would have to bring every PM up individually. Only a certain number of saved PMs are allowed so it is possible that a very old PM does not even exist anymore. Acadia |

OK, I understand. But I wanted to read only my own PMs (sent and received), because my memory isn't what it used to be. Oh well.......... |

But the only PMs that you can see are those sent by and received by you. If you have your OM settings set to store a sent PM in your sent folder you would look there for those that you sent. You would look in your inbox for those that you received. Attachment: pm-menu.jpg [ 32.42 KiB | Viewed 5379 times ] |
