I added a phpBB2 mod tonight that exports your PM's.

There is a new button "Export" in the private message section. If you SHIFT click on it, it opens a new empty window and lets you save a snapshot of all your private messages from all folders as an XML document on your local disk drive. I am not sure why I have to shift-click instead of just click, but maybe that's just an IE bug?

Tested the clicky thing... and...
Yup. It's just an IE bug.
I have Firefox, and it works with just one click. :}

It's pretty much like backing up your PMs, in the event of a forum crash or something. Save the XML file and if all your PMs, for whatever reason, get deleted then you can upload the backup and get all the PMs back.
