Chat Archive Pagination

How do we turn off pagination in the chat archives? I'm trying to search for terms, and as far as I can tell, the searches only apply to the page you are currently on. I have 168+ pages. This is a terrible "upgrade".

Ethan R. said: This is a terrible "upgrade". Totally agree. It's just one of several updates lately that broke something that used to work fine.

It has made it more difficult to use the search function in the chat archive but they did have a good idea. I just think the amount per page is just set to low and needs to be expanded to include more posts per page or even give users the option to choose a set amount of posts viewable per page like some websites that have their viewable stuff as 12/24/48/96.

Any response here, devs? My chat archive is nearly useless. I'm not going to spend time going through dozens of pages to search for terms. Please either make pagination optional, allowing a toggle to turn it on/off, or let me know an effective workaround. Thank you!

Hello all, The devs have made a comment here that they "are also aware of the desire for downloads and concerns with the pagination in its current form and we will be looking to improve upon this system in a way that does not re-break games with very large archives." Unfortunately, there is currently no time frame for when any changes will be made.  To consolidate posts, if you have any further questions or comments, please comment on that thread as the devs have already responded there. I am going ahead and closing this post.  Thanks.
