Backup your forum posts and threads

[bigbass]

Hello forum members

At some point in time its always a smart idea to backup
your work the best time to do this is when everything
is fine and good

when you do it is your choice

I recently backed up my posts
again all is fine and good
and thought to document the steps
its very simple but important

www.proboards.com/account/settings


look here and here in bold
1.)click on export

Export Member Data | Export the PMs and Posts of a linked Forum Account.| Export









select forum
then press Submit



you will wait a few days maybe or sooner?
the blue letters come up when the download is available
"Click to show recently exported data "


later you need to revist this site and link
to see if that message is there if so you get back a zip file

export_1234567_bigbass.zip


it is all indexed as .csv format
and a folder called attachments has your files

hope this is useful for you and saves your data safely

Joe
