Archiving Amp Garage PMs

[ViperDoc]

What's the best way to archive PMs on this website? I've received some great advice from many of the helpful members here and I'd like to not lose it. Thanks.

I'm a little out of my depth here, but I'll post my 2¢ anyway. Meanwhile, maybe the other Phil, the one who is running this site will pipe in.

There is software that will let you d/l a whole website. That seems like overkill and, guessing it is voluminous, presents questions about bandwidth for the d/l and disk storage requirements. I wouldn't recommend it.

Here is an add on to Firefox that might get you there: https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/fi ... don/unmht/

Description:

UnMHT 8.3.2

UnMHT allows you to view MHT (MHTML) web archive format files, and save complete web pages, including text and graphics, into a single MHT file in Firefox/SeaMonkey.

Simply copy/paste the content of the messages into a dedicated document of yours?

That is somewhat more work than just clicking on a single button but you are given the opportunity to review/sort the information, at the same time...

There's no easy way I know of, no, I think you can do as suggested and copy/paste or do screenshots.

The other of doing a full backup is very slow/expensive on the service and will take a LONG time. I've done it a few times to be sure we keep the data if something went 'wrong'

The drawback of screenshots is you can't use search features - but by performing advanced image processing (maybe).
