Group Chat History

[princealexis26]

I recently had to do a windows reinstall and so I had to reinstall Firestorm again and previously I had no issues with saving my chat histories but now it doesn't want to save them. IM's save fine, but my group history is not. I've set it to save log and transcripts, as well as nearby chat. Any help with this?

Check your Preferences in these two places.

Yes, these are my settings, but still no luck.

Any suggestions as to why it still wont work?

It ought to be working.  You say it's saving IMs, so that's good.  You then said

If by that you mean group chats, those are saved like IMs, but with the group's name. 

If you meant Nearby Chat, that is saved with the filename chat.txt.

It used to be just one file, but in order to keep it to a manageable size, they're now splitting all the log files up and creating separate ones for each day.  So you'll see a group of files, chat-2020-07-03.txt, and so on.

You'll find all the logs in your Roaming\Firestorm_x64\princealexis26\chatlogs folder.

Oh...I had another thought about group chats.  If you really do mean GROUP messages, and not nearby/local chat, here are some more settings to check.

Is this checked?  Don't.

 

These are not checked in my own Preferences, and I am logging group messages just fine.  But maybe they have some effect??

I mean group chat transcripts. I used to just click that button and have this window pop up so I could copy/paste my last message from it, and repost it. But for some reason it only saved a few messages, then stopped saving them, so I can't view them in the transcript window.
