Occasionally, you may want to retrieve an archived message and re-post it to one
of your conferences. Messages are archived automatically if you enabled archiving
when creating the conference. The Archived Messages window displays a list of all
of these messages. In a change from previous versions, WebBoard 4 does not
archive deleted messages.
Note
When a message is retrieved, it is removed from the archive database and added to
the conference as a new topic.
To retrieve an archived message, follow these steps:
On the More menu, click Administrator, Manager, or Moderator; the option available to you
depends on your authority level. The Administrator or Manager menu appears
for these two levels. If you’re a moderator, you’ll be presented with a list of
conferences for which you have these privileges; skip to Step 3.
Click Manage Conferences. The Manage Conferences page appears.
In the Action column, click Archive, to the left of the conference name that
contains the message you want to retrieve. The Archived Message list opens,
showing all the archived messages in that conference.
Locate the archived message you want to retrieve. WebBoard displays a line of
text from each message immediately below the entry. You can view the entire
contents of a message by clicking the message topic.
To retrieve the message, click Retrieve opposite the message you want.
WebBoard notifies you that the message has been retrieved. The message is
immediately posted as a new topic in that conference.
