Download Chat Archive

Just a button to download the entire fully rendered chat archive for a campaign off-line to the user's local machine. I've tried copy/paste, and Save web page as, and printing to a file such as a PDF, none of which seems to work very well. This previous thread suggested some work-arounds: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/3248/#post-3248" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/3248/#post-3248</a> The goal is just to get a copy of the chat archive off-line, so that it can be preserved for reference or processed for saving elsewhere, such as on another site like Obsidian Portal for maintaining a campaign record. It would also be a useful back-up, since it's my understanding that the servers here back up the campaign files but not the chat archives. Then the online chat archive could be cleared occasionally, whenever it starts to become unwieldy for the users in a party.
+1. I know a few months back the party bought some wands of healing, but for the life of me I can't remember who had them, and we just got out of a particularly nasty fight and need to heal up :( I didn't make a point of writing it down at the time, since the chat log would presumably be available, but attempting to view the chat log makes my browser lock up - I assume due to the size.
Yes please, with the same campaign going to 500 hours loading the chat archive is the kiss of death. &nbsp;Sometimes we have to do it, though...

You can just open the chat archive... and then hit CTRL + S in your browser and save it that way. As long as you do it often enough and clear the archive, it shouldn't lock things up.
