Enabling chat log history for IRC

[empire539]

Hi, when I upgraded from Miranda IM to Miranda NG, I seem to have lost the ability to log conversations in IRC chat.
I no longer have a "Chat Log" option under my Options > Events menu. Maybe I misplaced a plugin or something?

It would be much appreciated if you guys could help fix this issue.

Thanks.

Post your VesionInfio please. There are 3 modules for chats in Miranda - it will show which one you are using.

It's not under Options / Events, but under Options / Message sessions.

It's not under Options / Events, but under Options / Message sessions.

Sorry for the confusion, I meant the logging functionality which logs chats to a text file, not the message log in the message window.

It's there. Message Sessions / Group chats / second tab.

Thanks, I didn't see that before. But I'm not really sure if this solves my problem, since the option to Enable Logging to Disk was already checked.

The log directory path is set to: logs\%userid%.log

If I click the "Open log file base folder" button, it will bring me to C:\Users\Empire539\AppData\Roaming\Miranda NG\Home\Logs\logs where some logs are stored, but the log files there haven't been updated (based on the Last Modified dates; the latest updated IRC log was last modified in June 2014), and I've been on IRC nearly everyday since then, including yesterday and today.

empire539,  change it to %miranda_logpath%\logs\%userid%.log, Miranda can't understand just "logs\%userid%.log" anymore, it was a mad setting - it has to be pointed to some place, %miranda_logpath% takes it to logs folder inside profile.

Also make sure that these checkboxes are enabled:
