Copying a private message?

Belial666:
Last week I was posting from my sister's laptop cause mine had crashed somewhat seriously and couldn't save two character writeups. So I sent them as PMs to myself until my PC was good again.


Now I find that quoting said PMs does not seem to be working and I can't modify them either. I wrote them down in a quote because quoting changes the letter size downwards, making the writeup appear neater. Is there a way to retrieve the formatting and cool pictures? Copy-pasting would mess that up.

In my experience, if any post (including a PM) has a quote in it, you can't access the code by quoting it.  Unfortunately, also in my experience, you can't modify a PM like you can a normal post so that rout is likely denied you too.

For future reference, there is the "Insert code" tool above the kissing smiley with a "#" on it.  this allows you to post straight BB code into the body of your message.


--- Code: ---[quote][color=maroon]leme[/color] see if I can give [url=http://www.google.com]you an example[/url] of that   :-\[/quote]
--- End code ---

The above without the code code

--- Quote ---leme see if I can give you an example of that   :-\
