I'm not quite sure if I understand the problem, but my WIM saves every conversation I've had up until 5 weeks back for each char. Baraanâ€™s last blog post..Postaddon & Verzauberungskunst

Thank you so much for this article. I do use WiM and look back at the conversations my son has, but its worth noting that one can simple shift-left click the minimize button which will close the window and NOT save the chat.

I’m gonna look into the other addons you mention that log the other channels. I especially would like to give the badboy cc_cleaner a shot- not only for my son but for me too. The use of profanity is so rampant and immature it gets irritating.

Thanks again,
Acerbus Noir

Wow, TB Silent Ignore is amazing. Now I can finally ignore jackass guild members without them crying and throwing a hissy fit because I've ignored them. :D Rilgon Arcsinhâ€™s last blog post..*pants* I think weâ€™re back nowâ€¦

For a timer, try using Microsoft Steady State. When you log onto Windows on a protected account, it permits changes based on your settings that you allow, and it has a built-in session timer for the Windows logon session that displays on-screen so they can constantly know how much time they have left. When the timer’s up you can have it log them out of Windows, or reboot the system completely.
This would also keep them from deleting files, adding files or making system changes, which is good for your PC, and helps you maintain those other addons you’ve enabled.

If you have the FuBar, there is an addon called HeyFu which will save all whispers sent/received on that particular character for a week. It’s character specific, so you can’t be on one character and pull up the whisper logs from another character, but it’s still nice all the same.

However, in the end, parental supervision is going to be number one. Addons can record and they can somewhat block, but they can’t actively stop bad situations from happening. It’ll be another 10 or so years before we have a little one playing computer games, but my husband already has ideas in place to watch what she’ll do: webcams, trojans, and keyloggers to actually work for us :P

Chuck, I noticed that you made the statement about not finding an addon that holds a history of chats/whispers, I use elephant to capture mine. You might want to give it a try.
