Deleted chat archives have been undeleted with new pagination.

I've cleared the campaign archive every few months after downloading an archive that I post to players.  Since the new pagination feature was forced on us, the old deleted chat logs have mysteriously returned.... as far back as 5 years.  Was that intended?  It seems weird?  Also, new pagination has broken the ability to download a single big chat archive.

Drespar said: Hey all! The trash collector process that removed cleared chat archives appears to have been failing on some archives. That's why you're seeing these. We have since resolved this issue and you should no longer see the deleted archives. We 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. Is there by any chance a way to still get those old archives back somehow? My group has a couple old games with logs lost to the void because we didn't start saving them before wipes until last year, and we were all really stoked to see the pagination update brought them all back.

Hello Meat Man, Sorry for the delayed response. I have checked with the devs. Unfortunately, there is no way to retrieve them. 

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".

Hello Ethan R., As noted above, the concerns with pagination in its current form are being looked at to be improve upon.  We do not have a timeframe for when any changes will be made. As soon as there is more information, we will let users know.  Thanks.

Not good. A feature, the chat archive, that I've been able to effectively use and search through since 2013 is suddenly rendered virtually unusable for those purposes. Please enable the ability to toggle off or permanently turn off the pagination feature in chat archive. As it stands now, Roll20 has butchered my ability to effectively use the feature.

Hello The Dungeon Master, Thank you for letting us know your concerns. I have passed them along to the devs.  We thank you for your patience while they work to improve the Chat Archive.
