keeping chat history in IM boxes

Adium used to allow me to save the chat history stored in my IM boxes but it now only stores like the last few IMs sent when i close and reopen the box. I want to be able to see the whole chat in the IM box when i open one.

Saving the whole thing was never supported, only a certain number of messages. In the future we have some ideas about possibly loading messages on the fly allowing scrolling back through the whole thing.

before the update i downloaded a few days ago, adium gave me an option in Preferences to save the last 99 messages or something like that, but now it doesn't let me have that option. Can you verify this?

We removed the pref due to performance issues that we saw from a lot of users. Like Catfish_Man said, we're looking into another option.

i see, is there any way to uninstall the update or to download the last adium version?

This option will be back in Adium 1.2.
