Chat Logs

New Drupal based chat (Jan. 2012).  When logged in with 'editor' permissions, click manage this chat at the bottom of the chat window and then 'archive this chat'.  You'll see the entire chat history there. Copy the portion you want and then 'unarchive chat'. 

Old Chat (Addon) Daily logs of all chat activity are  emailed to [email protected] around 3amEST every day. This is a communal email address that all webcasters can access. (reversed standard ETT password '4T.....T') Chat Logs are automatically labeled 'chat logs' and skip the inbox.
These are saved as basic text files. You can use find and replace to get rid of extra text (i.e. date, [message]. and Edtechtalk:) We're working on a way to provide immediate access to daily logs.
