is there a feature or api method, in ip.board, that allows you to view your pm's using a script?
reason: because i want to have my PM's sms'd to my phone when im on the go, and i can do that with php, but i just need a way for the script to access my pms

Typically email notifications would be the way to go, though it's my understanding that this particular board installation doesn't have them configured correctly. I haven't tried enabling them to find out, myself.

I'm pretty sure they're not working. I haven't been able to get them to work.

I think I recall them working when I first joined though. This would be useful to have fixed/added if it's not too much effort.

i think i might just be able to scrape the html and get the pm's that way

That'd be easier, although logging in might be an issue.

if i use python, it should be pretty easy
