I have an annoying habit of forgetting to save PMs that people have sent me and then when I want to read them again, I can't. Would it be possible to automatically save, for example the last 10 received, with the possibility of moving them to some sort of archive if you want to keep them!?

Yes, I lost some message because I immediately clicked "reply". Most people who receive PM for the first time probably do that, too.

Since I now always remember to save before replying, that isn't a problem anymore. But the second immediate PM could be a trouble if I haven't finish reading the first one yet.

That mostly happen when the person who send you the first PM send in another to correct and add something, not knowing he'll delete the first one in the process. That's why you should wait a few minutes before sending another PM to the same person.

Another possibility is that you're really well known and receive PMs from many people in the same time. Your only solution is not to make yourself really popular!

Yes, come to think of it, it would be a good idea to automatically save PMs after all. We can only hope Ben has the time to do that...

Just a little tip I learned from Reverend, if you click on the black background, and then press your backspace button, it will take you back, from your reply, to the original message. :)

Or you can right click on it and select "back" from the menu. Both works. Be careful though, you might lost your message being written instead (depends on your browser.) So it's a nice idea to copy the whole message before going back or sending, just in case.

OK, I've made a change so that when replying to a message, you can now see the original message at the bottom of the popup. Hopefully that helps.

I'd rather not automatically save PMs because that could end up using a lot of space.
