[Suggestion] Downloading telegrams

Postby Minoa » Wed Nov 30, 2016 8:58 am

Hi,

I would like to see the ability to download all my telegrams and telegram conversations, perhaps as a ZIP file for backups. While one may suggest that I download each telegram page from Firefox, such action does not preserve the formatting.

I suppose I wouldn't mind this feature, but it's not hard to copy and paste a telegram/telegram conversation into a notepad or document. :P

It can be depending on how long it goes on for.

I have about 2,500 telegrams sent and received. I imagine some people have rather a lot more.

Oh, I have quite a few as well. Not all are significant to me, though. I never said the initial idea was a bad one, just that it was not necessarily needed.

I think it would have to be a paid feature since otherwise people would stop purchasing Postmaster accounts and just download their telegrams which would reduce the revenue of NS.

Maybe it should come with Postmaster.

Isn't it a lot simpler to just make a word/text document and copy-paste the data of your TG in there?

Not always. This is a feature that I, and probably quite a few others out there would be willing to pay for.

How exactly is my suggestion not a plausible solution though? Afterall TG's are just text, they don't support any fancy smancy stuff like the things you can put in forum posts.

As already pointed out in this thread before, there are those who have thousands of telegrams and it would be a really tiresome job for them to copy/paste all of those telegrams.

Finally a suggestion people can get behind! Also yes, I think it would go great to add it to postmaster, instead of just for everyone, or as Cresenthia said NS would lose money
