Would you use this?

[jgrim]

I'm a member of several forums. Given this I have trouble keeping all my private messages organized.

If I made a system where you could export all your messages from all the forums you're part of and then import them into a central place for organizing and searching, would you use this?

I'm considering creating this and offering it as a free service. Only if it's wanted by more than just me will I make it look pretty and add registration.

Sounds like a great idea. Anything that saves time is always a good idea.

That's what I thought, it appears that those who have voted feel otherwise. I guess we'll see. BTW, welcome to the forum.

No. On a scale of usefullness, it's a 1 out of 10.

 

[jgrim]

I guess I just send more PMs then everyone else. Or that I just suck in general. Unless your scale is in terms of golf, low is good.

I have a system like this in place - my email inbox

 

[kingfish]

Wow I'm betting you spend way too much time on forums.

 

[JoshTodd]

OP your avatar is sweet!

 

[nickycakes]

Just disable your PM's. Works much better.

Sounds like a great way to read peoples PMs

Could be nice for the service providers who are working across several different forums, but I personally wouldn't use it.

The forums are just where I get 85% of my clients, that's probably why I get so many PM's. I tried the email thing with gMail. It's just hard for me to keep track, even with using labels and the task list.

If I do decide to make it, I'll throw a post up here. If no one uses it, at least it's something to help me keep better organized.

I think it's a good idea. I know several people that do business almost strictly via forums and PMs. It could be marketable, for sure.

 

[jgrim]

I might just create it and provide it free to just this forum. I understand it isn't for everyone, but sometimes it's a good idea to work with small niches also.
