Clear Chat Log - returns after refresh

February 10 (11 years ago)
Hello -

First, let me say that Roll20.net is AWESOME. As a developer, I've long dreamed of trying to build something like this but can now say it would have never have been as cool as Roll20! I have been a wannabe RPGer for years, rarely getting around to actually setting up a game and playing, but Roll20 has renewed my interest. I've had so much fun setting up a new game, that I've got a few friends interested, and hope to actually join and run a game soon!

My question/issue: As I mentioned, I am still learning Roll20 and I have tested chat in a game I set up, and in testing macros, etc. Now the chat log has a bunch of junk I'd rather not have everyone see (like room descriptions, and just back and forth between a friend of mine), but when I use the "Clear Chat Log" functionality, it seems to only hide it temporarily. If I refresh, or log in again, it re-appears in history. Is there a way to permanently remove chat history, or at least to have it stay "archived" so that it doesn't show up again after you've cleared it, unless you view the archive?

Thanks!

Brian

The in game clear chat is temp. You need to use the clear chat button in the campaign detail page.

As Metroknight said, to completely and permanently clear the chat log you'll want to use the "Clear Chat Archive" button in the campaign details page. There's a screen shot on this wiki page - https://wiki.roll20.net/Campaign_Management and an explanaition of how the "clear current chat log" button in the settings tab of the sidebar works on this wiki page - https://wiki.roll20.net/My_Settings
