Just want to say thank you for the data export function!
« on: September 27, 2018, 03:08:06 AM »
I want to say thank you for the data export function! I just gave it a whirl and all my posts exported into a nice little text file I can keep for my records if I want to. :D It is awesome. Thank you, Timothy!

It's found under the profile links and even though the wording is a little odd on the actual export instructions, you don't have to change any of those numbers that populate by default as long as you haven't hit 1000 posts yet.
Don't rush me.

Holy cow.  I'm over 1/3 of the way there.

WARNING!!!

Absolutely do NOT take the data export of all your posts, open them in a word processor and check the word count.


It may be tempting but don't do it.

You may not like the results.

By way of example . . .

In the past week, I've written a couple hundred words in my novel.

On the forum, my word count equals a novel.

Great function! I could have used that... elsewhere... instead of just napalming it and who knows what I deleted?
