Options: Additional Chat options
The ‘Options’ window (illustration) lets you configure additional chat options.
Additional chat options window |
You can configure the following options:
Display your nickname in front of your own messages
If this option is checked, your nickname will precede your messages in the chat log.
Add a timestamp to displayed messages
If this option is checked, each entry in the chat log will begin with the time the message was sent.
Confirm disconnect if Private is open
If this option is checked, a confirmation dialog will appear if you try to close a text chat window that has private channels.
Confirm disconnect if Private contains unread messages
If this option is checked, a confirmation dialog will appear if you try to close a text chat window that has private channels with unread messages.
Allow special commands
If this option is checked, all messages that begin with the “/” symbol will be interpreted as text commands.
Right to left reading
If this option is checked, all messages will be formatted for reading from right to left.
Windows 98/ME does not support right-to-left reading by default, but specific localized versions do (for example, the Arabic version). For Windows 7/2008/Vista/2003/XP/2000 the system component “support for right-to-left languages” should be installed.
Enable logging
If this option is checked, all messages will be saved to log file.
Specify an existing directory where the log files are to be saved.
HTML log format
If this option is selected, all messages will be saved in HTML files. This allows all characters in all languages to display correctly, but can produce very large files that can be searched only through standard Windows ‘search’ functions.
TXT log format
If this option is selected, all messages will be saved in text files. This will produce very small files and allows the user to search through them using most programs, but only languages that are installed on the computer will appear correctly.
Log files path
Specify an existing directory where log files are to be saved.
