Chat Archive features

The Chat Archive feature could really benefit from some updates. &nbsp;Some campaigns use this feature extensively as their go to record of what has happened, how has what items, etc. The current archive version has some issued, including being very slow to render for long campaigns with a lot of text. A couple of previous posts have raised suggestions, including this one from about a year ago&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/1551346/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/1551346/</a> and another one that I posted a few months back&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/1931814/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/1931814/</a>. Features that I would like to see that it seems to me should be reasonably feasible to implement include: The ability to download the Chat Archive as a fully rendered HTML file for off-line use. A filter to turn on time stamps for entries in the chat log that include time stamps. I understand that this information is not available for all posts in all campaigns, but for the items where it exists it would be nice to be able to see it. The ability to put bookmarks in the archive. It would be incredibly useful to be able to mark chapters where sessions start and end, to mark the haul from the dragon's horde where items were described, or to mark key interactions. &nbsp;This feature might be a bit more involved than the other two, since it would require taking into consideration whether the bookmarks are shared or private, and at least being able to download the full Chat Archive for offline use would provide a work around, but a built in bookmark system would be very useful. If anyone knows of ways to accomplish these already or features that I'm not aware of I would love to hear it, but it does seem like the Chat Archive feature is due for an update.
