Oh one more thing while I have your attention?
The link in my sig to a post in the Rude Tells thread no longer works, of course.
But someone originally helped me set it up so it linked directly to the post itself, whereas all I was able figure out how to do was link to the page the post was on.
Could someone please help me get it back the way it was?
I can find the page again if that helps, just let me know.

One of the nice things about this forum platform is the fact that each post number (found in the top-right corner of the post) is a link to that post. Makes linking easy...

Thanks Mateo, but that takes you to the page, not the post itself. Dunno how that other person did it, but they linked me to a page that only showed that one post, not all the other posts on the page...
EDIT FOR: OK great, Thanks Archiviste - and thx for "teaching me to fish" as well.
Not sure aobut the chat logging.. but you can do /copychat tabname
and that will copy all the lines in the tab specified. There is a line limit though, so if you scroll all the way to the top of the tab, you'll see the first lines that /copychat will grab. So if what you're looking to log happened before that point, you're SOL.
EDIT: just to note, you have to actually paste the /copychat into a text editing program to save it. And unless they fixed it, it saves a bunch of coding garbage with it and can be super annoying to read.
As for the sig line, just replace the url you currently have with this: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...postcount=1033

Yes, my link brings you to the page, but still queues you directly at the post. If you want to view it without the rest of the thread, simply change my link to say "showpost", instead of "showthread".

O! I see! Okay thanks for both options. Think I'll stick with the single-post page, peeps can find their own way to the thread if they want more... |

Chat logging only works once turned on. Anything before it is turned on (or after it is turned off) is not logged.

A shorter way of linking to a specific post is this (sigs are length-limited, after all):
Copy the URL of the post, you'll get something like this:
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showpost.php?p=2088887&postcount=10
(This is a link to UberGuy's post above mine)
See that p=####? That's the post number. Put that inside a post= code, and you'll get a shorter link.

This is one - I've used this one quite a bit.
This is another - I haven't tried this one yet but it's supposed to be better than the first.

Since we're using some neat extra codes, you can also use [noparse] to display the code without executing it, so you don't have to trick the forum with interjected stuff. lol|

On a side note, I have tons of text in my sig. The restriction might be only how many lines you have, not how much text you have.

Chat logging to a file only starts when you turn it on.
However, at any time, you can capture the full contents of a chat tab. For example, to capture the text on the tab named 'Global', you would type /copychat global
That will copy the entire contents to the Windows clipboard so you can paste it into a text editor.

There is a limit of five lines, I believe I saw someone mention in one of the "issues with the new forums" threads.

That's why I pointed it out. Using a [post=###] code instead of a full URL is useful, don't get me wrong, but it shouldn't give you any extra room in your signature.

While the log chat function only starts to record chat from the time you issued the command, the /copychat function copies everything that's in the buffer for that channel, which includes a bit of history.

I've been looking for a good cleaner recently, and that second one is pretty awesome. Thanks for posting it!
Does chat-logging only begin logging once you turn it on?
