It is appreciated that this will be difficult for some, as they have come to rely on the system in this area as far as some records go.
After considerable reflection we have decided to start over, since we cannot continue this way unfortunately.
Accordingly, on November 27th we will be resetting the Conversations database, which will result in the loss of all conversations to that date. We hope that this will resolve the problems we have been experiencing and regret any problems that this might create for members.
Regards,
The FPN Admin Team

Not that we are aware of. The new software appears to have done away with the download feature. so I suspect that the only way to save important ones is to cut and paste them one by one. We are equally disappointed by this as you, but don't see any alternative.

Print individual conversations to PDF, then compile the PDFs into one file.

However, I kind of stumbled upon this thread by chance. I'm wondering what sort of notification is going to be sent to let users know, in advance, that the PMs are disappearing. I appreciate that FPN does NOT ever spam, but might this be monumental enough to merit an email to people's registered email addresses? I know if the PMs just disappeared and I never knew it, because I wasn't following the right threads or visiting at that time, I would be... upset.

Bumping this thread once a day would keep it prominent in the news for the month until the change.
I don't know if a mass email is possible, but that sounds like a good suggestion.
