Hi all - does anybody know if computers in general keep a log of chat room chats, or IM's? If not, is there somewhere I can turn it on? I have XP, Dell laptop, the usual stuff.
The only place that will have logs is the server that you were an at the time, not the pc or laptop you were using.
If you want to save the conversations you need to either copy and paste as you go along, or screen capture them as you go along. What ever method you choose will need to be employed before you exit the room you were chatting in.
If you were threatened you can ask for the logs to be reviewed, if there are mods availaable, but if it was an unmoderated site this is not going to help you, and if you are looking for anything else you should have got it at the time, if it is something like a name, address or phone number, s they normally won't tell you them even if you knew they had been given.
