Is it possible to export all of your own comments from an Invision Power Board forum into a text file?

I have admin access on the forum in question but not direct access to the database, although I could get direct access to the database if I needed to do so.

The software version is IP.Board 2.3.6

If you get direct access to the database, then it should be fairly trivial. It'll essentially just be:

select * from comments where userid="youruserid"

I don't actually know anything about invision power board in particular, but something very similar to the above will work on any reasonable forum database.

Response by poster: Cheers. I'll give that a try then.
