I use AOL at home and VPN to my office, but I would like my XP desktop to save my aim chats automatically, or have AOL have like a hisorical aim or log. I need this so I can retrveive information that is passed to me via AIM.

I downloaded two logging plugins…. yeah, they are not logging anything??!!

Please help,

I downloaded AIM+ which would not log. the AIM + would not log anything. It would create a name and folder with the date…. but nothing in there. I did the usual stupid stuff. stopped restarted, uninstalled, reinstalled, reboot. Still the same…

I have also down loaded Chime logIM. (http://www.devhood.com/tools/tool_details.aspx?tool_id=445) Strange thing with this one, when it creates a file to “Log” it only creates the name partially and of course logs nothing because there is no such name….. I don’t get it. I cannot manually add the names.

thanks

well if you’re just looking for a simple aim logger, i’d suggest middle_man, or if you’re willing to put down $5 you can buy DeadAIM…. just check google for them

cbrf: if you had read the aim+ website or its forums, you would have found that the last version was released in 2001 and has no support for AIM 5.x, thus, most of its features do not work. 4.8 is the last version that AIM+ works 100% with.

I suggest middle_man for a logger plus other neat features

DeadAIM and Palfun both have logging capabilities, although I believe DeadAIM now charges a $5 fee while Palfun is currently free. Try one of those two.

uh, yeah. basically just do a google search for “aim logging” and you can find a million sources, or browse through the BigBlueBall links directory for AIM or do a simple BBB search for a logger
