Ways to load chat history from previous sessions
Hi all!
My search-fu is losing its power!
I couldn't find any indications on how to load chats from other sessions.
I know chats are saved, but don't know how to load them.
Can you tell how it is done?

You can not load chat output from previous sessions or from other sessions. However, chat output is saved to a file named chatlog.htm in each campaign folder for viewing in a browser.

We'll have to do with what we got, then.
Thanks for your answer!

Probably because no one has ever asked for the ability to load past chat logs? At least I don't remember anyone ever asking.
But, you can always add it to the wish list so others can vote on the idea and the devs can track the feature enhancement requests.

seems to this still "newbie" that I came across that in an early session I attended and , as I recall, I merely copied each chat session before session ended and pasted it into a word doc.....then when I went to start new session...and found need to refer to it I had it...what do you all think?

My game is run exclusively in chat. At the end of each session I copy the relevant portion into Word, run a couple of macros and then post to our site for everyone to be able to read and use throughout the years.

I do the same copy-and-paste into an archive of text files organized by date, where text gets indexed as well for easy searchability. Sure it would be more convenient to have a "chat history" button in FGU where to search for specific words/dates/roll outputs, but I suspect that since copy-and-paste is pretty easy to do most people don't consider it a priority feature to add.
Please vote these quality-of-life features for Fantasy Grounds Unity:
Human readable titles in FGU Updater - 'Staging' state of die rolls (modify results after dice are rolled, but before FGU evaluates the result, for things like Bardic Inspiration) - Multi Screen Support - Let players control friendly NPC tokens - Customizable duration of fog of war
