Hey Dave,

I'm curiuos. Would you consider adding a feature that puts all a user's (their own) posts in a text file and lets them DL it? I want to keep all my thoughts locally too in case your box goes down or whatever. Regardless I think it'd be a great feature. Can you hook us up?

Thanks,

Wes

It may be possible. Extracting all the posts of a user , datewise/threadwise along with post id, date-time and other relevant data. Dave may please consider.

Oh it's totally possible. There's obviously a database which is easily queried. From that you just have to jam the contents into a text file, prep it for DL, send it and delete it. I'm not sure how difficult it would be, but I'm sure it's possible.

Dave could actually charge money for that. Pay for it if you want and don't if you don't feel like it. So postwhores...er..ummm....Good posters like our dear Wes here can pay for all their posts.
