With the current issues with the forum, specifically the random loss of private messages (PM's)..
And the staff notification/recommendation to back-up these messages periodically, I created an off-site viewer of your private messages files.

The RPF PMV v1.0
PMV = Private Message Viewer
* It only works on .xml exported file formats
* .xml file needs to be in the same directory as the main .html file
* .xml file needs to be RENAMED TO: messages.xml (as that is the file name the main .html file is looking for to load/parse)
* It only works in Firefox (as far as I know, since Chrome and IE do not allow for local file loading/access).. although there are work-arounds for Chrome if you are interested.
* Currently needs an internet connection (since it loads the jQuery library from Googles CDN) <-- * (this can be updated if requested so true off-line viewing is possible)
* II did a nice chunk of BBCode replacement.. but I'm sure I didnt catch everything..(I tried to cover everything I saw in my personal messages.. but I'm sure others have used other BBCode mark-up that I have not seen... add it to a list and I'll make updates)
Its all JS/jQuery.. no web server required,
Open source.. so feel free to use/edit (with credit given of course).....
Anyone else can throw some time at the REGEX find/replacement section to tighten up the BBCode replacement function (if they are interested)
Feedback appreciated.
* A 'dark side' version that matches the RPF forum theme/styles was started as well.. but not completed,
