Incomplete logs in AIM+ 1.0

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Wed Jan 09, 2002 11:52 pm

I was surprised that sometimes AIM+ doesn't completely log everything..specially if the chat session is long or has tremendous amounts of text in it. I just lost a step by step instruction from a friend because i thought AIM+ History would have it all down for a future reference. Any reasons why this happens?

I use:
win2k pro sp2
AIM 4.8.2614

to reproduce..i just typed a few gibberish words and applied different text formatting to some parts of it and IM myself repeatedly with the same text or a variation of the same kind...after a while..you're gonna notice that AIM+ fails to log everything...it usually truncates the end and even worse..sometimes it stops somewhere in the beginning.

I got this same damn problem too. I had a couple of long conversations and I tried to read them the next day and to my shock, they were almost completely wiped! Only the very beginnings of the conversations were logged. I guess the logging has a bunch of fat bugs. I stopped using Aim+ for awhile and reverted back to using AIM 4.4 but I just recently upgraded to the latest AIM version and reinstalled Aim+. If this thing doesn't log properly then at least it can hide all those sections of the main AIM window... :?

I don't know if this will be fixed and I don't know when it'll be updated but I sure hope this problem gets fixed. My log cut totally cut off last night. I had a conversation with a girl and all that there was in the History was the first two messages....BLAH

When a window's text gets to be too big, AIM+ does not handle it correctly. It will usually simply stop recording, sometimes it will behave even stupider, but the net result is that very long conversations (without closing the IM window), can get lost or messed up.

This is a big problem - it's my top concern right now, so make sure to grab the next version when it comes out..

Any idea as to why the logs to the windows that are open are almost completely lost when AIM+ has one of those unexplained C++ runtime errors?

Another thing about those errors I've noticed is that you can still receive IM's from who you're currently talking to, but you can't access the window to reply. I dunno if that helps at all, but I'll keep my eye open for anything else
