    Thank you really appreciate your help. Can you tell me is there any way to download and keep the comments to and do the wins and HMs disappear when you close an account?

    Doesn't save comments, no. If you close your accounts, all your wins/hms/poems will be deleted. The only thing that will remain is any comments you left on any one else's page, and any forum posts you've made.

    Edit: If you want to save comments, you can go through all your poems one by one and right click press the save as page, and save it like that.

    I had some free time, so I was able to add backing up comments on your poem as well,

    If anyone else wants their stuff backed up, just send me a message, will be happy to do it.

    Mark! That was so cool. I downloaded the file and I never realized that I have so many poems starting with "Oh "

    Dayum, hiraeth.

    You’re hot.

    Omg just remembered I’m not a 22yo on this site anymore and hiraeth is probably like one of those helpful 14yo computer geeks just trying to get through his day without being sexually harassed online. I apologise, I’m a bit out of touch in these forums.

    Hah, no harm done.

    Speaking of being a geek, I had some free time and if anyone is on Windows, and wanted a copy of the backup tool:
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-nnfTIIa9R9oCEC0yLcfEBzNQ6Z131D_/view?usp=sharing

    Please note that you may be warned that the file is a virus (it's not, google & microsoft will say that about any program that hasn't been commonly downloaded), upon downloading and you may need to press keep download (on chrome, at least). When you run the program it may prompt you about Smart Screen not being able to recognize the program, just click more info, and press run anyway.

    You'll be greeted by a small screen, where you'll copy and paste the link to your profile account: https://www.poems-and-quotes.com/poets/507104 for instance, or the numeric portion 507104, and you can optionally set up the directory of where you want to save the zip file containing the backup, if you don't set up a directory, it'll just save in the same folder of where you downloaded this program. Then you'll press Backup! and it'll run along and backup the files for you, and once it's done a popup message will appear telling you it's completed.

    It roughly took about 5 minutes to back up Luce's work which had a total of ~1300 files (poems/comments + quotes). If the program for whatever reason freezes, just let it keep running and the popup message will come up whenever it's done backing up.

    Thanks so much for this Hiraeth. It took less than a minute to back up all of mine.

    I get what Abby is saying here. Mark, your brain/aptitude/helpfulness is hot. Really, it speaks volumes about your character that you'd take the time to do this for PnQ and its members. Thank you.
