EDIT- SCROLL DOWN. This chat log screen has been edited to create a barrier to your logs. Also logs are only held for 30 messages or some period of time in which they are then wiped.
Hey everyone. I put a chat feature on the site for quick notes between members, fight night chat, and hope to use the bar for quick links to useful features (like our twitter feed).
The core of the chat bar is a purchased software from a vendor. There are some things I customize but some things that come stock.
One of these that was unexpected is that in the admin section chat logs are kept for a short period.
To be clear, I don't want this.
Because the core of the chat function is made by the vendor, I can't easily stop this logging. I've asked the vendor to give me the option to turn this off.
In the meantime, I've got a routine that automatically deletes these logs much faster. But they are still made and running the delete really often will be increase server load.
So why am I posting this? Because direct member chat and PM's should be relatively private. I have no interest in your business and we want to be open and fair as site owners.
I don't want someone to go read about our chat software and be under the illusion that we are trying to pry. So proceed as you wish. We aren't reading these logs and I am actively looking for ways to disable them.
