I've never ever had that happen with msn. It's happened a few times with
Yahoo, but never with msn. Maybe perhaps I'm just lucky. but then, I'm
just coo like that.

Subject: Re: Question about Adium logging
I actually recall trying it a while back and you'd be lucky if frequent
disconnects were the worst you had. I found that it would just crash
whenever I tried to log into my MSN.

Well I don't know of any way to do this in Adium itself exactly, but I
think you're reacting to a problem that doesn't really exist. Yes,
there's no way really to take the log out of the list without deleting
it which also deletes the corresponding log (note you could copy your
logs for backup purposes though). But you're not going to end up with a
huge chat log. If you look at the transcript viewer in Adium, each log
is separated out by contact and date. There's no reason you have to look
at a log from a year ago if that's not what your after, pull up the date
you're looking for. Further, there's a pop up button that allows
narrowing of the date selection, as well as a search field to look
through the logs either all of them or on a per-contact basis. So, I
think you're looking for a solution to a problem that really doesn't
exist.
Note: Fire is no longer being maintained, in fact most of the Fire
developers are the ones now working on Adium. In particular, it's not
very compatible with the current MSN protocols, so you'd have a real
issue with frequent disconnects on MSN if you tried it.

OK, I know this has come up before on here, and I know that I have been
told it's impossible, and it's not that I dont' trust yall, as much as
I feel it's rather rediculous that there would be no way. I know that
in preferences, under general, I can set Adium not to log messages,
however, I figure, is there notta way to keep the log however clear it?
I looked in the edit menu and saw an option called clear, but it's
dimmed. I mean, dang it! I don't want to be chatting with someone a
year out from today, only to find that that unknown item when
interacted with, gives me a log from a year or more back to the
present. That's um, kind a, not good? I know I could do vo shift end
to get to the bottom of it, but still! that's kind a not very good
programming in my opinion, to not have a way to clear that log upon
command, or at the very least, set it to keep a log only for x amount
of time. Frankly, I'd almost be convinced to switch to Fire, work in
progress, or not, if I can't straighten this out. I know a lotta
people may just say, get over it. Deal with it, for god sake, and,
frankly? call me picky, I know, but, dont' you all think this is just a
little stupid that they'd not have a way to do this? Boy would I be
interested in knowing if there was a way that I've missed.
