But after 30 days of inactivity the message gets removed.
I would like to have an option to mark some messages and prevent them from removing. |

A bit off-topic, but isn't it lost time to discuss with someone, who says he will never change his mind?!  If going into a discussion with the opinion "I never will change my mind", I will ony fight to dictate the others my opinion and not discussing a problem. |

Not really, if that other person turns out to be right in the end  If he/she is then able to convince you that his/her opinion is right and yours is wrong, it's no loss of time, quite the contrary.

In the meantime, you can select File->Save As in your browser. Not bad, thanks. Thought about copying in a word or notepad doc, but your suggestion is better. But having it at the website, where I need it most time, would be the user-friendliest option. |

If going into a discussion with the opinion "I never will change my mind", I will ony fight to dictate the others my opinion and not discussing a problem. That is not what I said. Recently, a user said me that in the past he told me that things were white (not want to be more precise here), and in fact I clearly remember that at that time he said they were black. To remind what was really said may help avoiding bad faith. | | | | Images from movies | | | | Last edited: by surfeur51 |

Sorry for my OT too... But such an opinion is only good if his way is correct. Bad chance that this works everytime.  |

I would like to have an option to mark some messages and prevent them from removing. I often wish I had this. When I try and copy & paste often my computer refuses to let me because of how it is set up. I've tried dozens of times to fix this and have given up. A tick box (I love tick boxes!) > save would be wonderful. |
