    In the past, there were 3 options for me to download all the private messages and the one that I love most is the .txt format.
    After the upgrading of DP, I cannot find it anymore. Could you please let me know where I can find it?

    Thank you.

    You can find that option at the rightside bottom of Private Message page. (Selected Messages -> Download as text-XML-CSV) all 3 options are there.

    I tried that before. It only allows me to download the messages shown on that particular page (i.e. max. 50). In fact, I want to download all the 5,000 PMs, please advise me how to do that.
    Thank you.

    It's a known issue with vBulletin 4. Hopefully the quick "download all" options for PMs will resurface soon.

    You can select upto 500 pm's at a time and download them through that option IMO. I have tried that. You can't download more then that in one go as of now.

    In the meantime, set it up so that copies of your PMs get emailed to you, and you'll always have a copy, without worrying about expired PMs.

    How can I select more than 500 PMs without leaving the current PM page?

    I used to do it very easily, but right now, I can no longer do it.
    Please advise.

    Now you can only download 500 PMs in one go (not all in one go as previously).

    You should have the option to download all PMs at the bottom of the page now.
