Elephant
"Shoot... what did he say again? I just got disconnected."
"Didn't that folk already loot that rare item 10 minutes ago?"
"I really wish I could remember the name of the item linked on the guild chat yesterday at 9:00 PM."
...
Already been in one of these situations? Don't be annoyed anymore, here is the solution!
Solution to chat loss annoyance
Elephant logs the chat for you in the background even when you get disconnected. It saves the WHISPER & BATTLE.NET, RAID, INSTANCE & BATTLEGROUND, PARTY, GUILD, SAY, YELL and OFFICER chats separately, but also all general chats (General, Trade, LocalDefense, ...), custom chats you are currently on, achievements, loots and finally system messages (auctions, rolls, server going down, ...). You can easily go through all these logs, thanks to a straightforward interface displaying all the access buttons on the right side of the main window. You can access the options of the addon by typing /elephant and also bind a key to pop up the addon.
Elephant gives you the ability to copy up to 100,000 (yes, 100k) characters of logs to another application. A BBCode feature is even included, letting you copy/paste a chat with colors and links to an item database in a very quick and simple way to your favorite forum.
This is THE addon that you should install if you want to never forget what somebody told you in game. Be a pro of managing hell tells, go peacefully AFK for a few minutes, or be an awesome role player. Elephant is also perfectly designed for Guild Leaders, Officers and Raid Leaders particularly because it restores the chats after you've been disconnected.
Main features
- Logs the chats in the background, with a limit of 10,000 lines for each chat (Blizzard's default is 161 lines for everything).
- Saves the logs when you log out or get disconnected.
- Display the chats with timestamps, or using your Prat settings if you have it installed.
- Copy the chat and paste it in other applications (BBCode supported!), up to 100,000 characters.
- Save the chat and combat log in two different files on your computer (using the default Blizzard logging system).
Other features
- Use filters to avoid logging some of the custom channels you join.
- Enable/disable logging for each chat separately.
- Item links in logs are displayed in their proper color and are clickable.
- Player names in the main window are clickable.
- ...and much more!

Posted Jun 13, 2007@ dgjedde: I am talking about the text log feature ;)
@ Kothoga: Nope, that is not possible, just check my message below.
@ Avatar1999: I had this problem once, deleting my WTF folder fixed the problem. Dunno why, though, it sometimes do this. There is no reason why ChatLog would not move by dragging it. I've talked about this with the author of FuBar, but he does not see where it comes from either.
@ NWO-Footman: This will be implemented soon.

Posted Jun 6, 2007Wonder if you could help with a problem I have.
By default, in FuBar, ChatLog appears on my top bar. I have tried dragging it to the lower bar but it will not budge. The FuBar panel is NOT locked, and I am not really sure why i can't move it down.
Please, any help?

Posted Jun 5, 2007I have been using this addon since 1.12 patch and I love it...But as I save all the channels I'm in I'm wondering this...
Is it possible to get a log for each channel...for example...for Guild it will be created a log named WoWGuildLog and etc..
As I'm keep logs over all the channels the log will be very large

Posted Jun 5, 2007@ Avatar1999: It is not possible to do that. Just check my previous messages (a quite long time ago though): it is impossible due to the fact that the only way to log the chat is to use a Blizzard's UI function. This function is _not_ customizable and thus you can: 1) log everything 2) log nothing. That's the only choice at the moment ;)

Posted May 29, 2007Update: it seems there is no bug at all, something was going wrong in my UI.
I'll check later for the Report command problem.
gwenwyn: The path is written when you click on the option to log the chat. It should be World of Warcraft\Logs\WoWChatLog.txt.txt

Posted May 28, 2007There is a bug in the last release of ChatLog, you cannot click on user names anymore in the log. But it is very strange that you cannot report users anymore, this should not happen. I'll check this at noon, and i'll post here to give more information.

Posted May 27, 2007Is it just me, or is ChatLog blocking the ability to right-click Spam Report people? As far as I can tell, seeing as this is the only AddOn I've changed within the last couple of days, ChatLog is soley responsible for my inability to select (or even SEE) "Report Spam" in the right-click menu for chat box names... My game wasn't doing this before I installed ChatLog.

Posted May 25, 2007Is there a way to keep Chatlog from saving all the "garbage" text that comes from using GuildEventManager (GEM)?
I noticed this eats up a lot of file space, and disabling those channels prevents logging actual chatting that may go on in them. Also, when selecting the log size, what is the value that corresponds with the number? Lines? file size?

Posted May 23, 2007New release out, compatible with 2.1 (should be :p).
Thanks wolftankk for the translations, I will add them in a quick update tomorrow ;) Please note that the localization files will probably change a lot in the next versions. It will maybe need a new translation, but I know you will be here when it'll be needed ;)

Posted May 10, 2007As sag_ich_nicht said, you have to move your WoW folder out of C:\Program Files\. This is the only way for the logs to be saved under Vista at the moment.
Note: I am working on the AddOn on the Wowace repository, it is now logging system messages (connections/disconnections, auction house messages, server messages, ...).
