Have you got Ad-block extension installed?

LOL, of course I have, I'm a grumpy old man and can't stand all that intrusive rubbish cluttering up my screen :icon_razz:

That's a relic from years back! You can buy 1Tb of memory now for £30 - professional installations can get memory much cheaper!

Not with sufficient error correction & uptime guarantees you can't. Just because you can go to xyz internet shed and get one delivered does not cover the whole cost of the memory nor any contingent operations behind.
Perhaps if PMs are so hard to manage, we should stop providing any storage at all?
How is it possible that my PM system has rarely got more than 15 messages in it? 99.99% are read, reply, delete.
There is the facility to download them if you want to keep them, if you want to do so, use the facility, if not don't.
Let me be clear - we are not going down the road of differential features or access based on subscriptions or donations. My life (and I suspect speak for Boab too) outside this forum is too busy to be managing that plus the inevitable 'I paid my dues and xyz didn't happen' overhead.

Lifes to short to be waiting through old pms, say with emails, archive them nicely and leave it at that.
I bet your all the people with the messy desktop icons on screen too![emoji12]

Hmm, just tried it. It doesn't save them anywhere as far as I can see, just puts the text into the tab as you say.
Unless anyone knows a quicker way, you can press [control]+A to highlight the text, [control]+C to copy, open Notepad, and paste the text into that, finally saving it from there to a location of your choice...

I wouldn't say it's a relic... large corporations are all about cost management and reduction as well as maintaining scale. You can't simply justify uncontrolled expansion based on cost alone.
Then, when done at a corporate level, you have to factor in all the other costs... installation, maintenance, upgrade, replacement, repair, localization, mirroring, backup, archive. Then, taking my employer as an example, factor in 10,000 employees.
For a site like this, you could be dealing with a 3rd party for storage and hosting and they're in the business of making money. So an extra TB will cost them X but they're going to sell it for a multiple of that.
