How to make previous chat history visible in new window

Hi people,
Recent Windows convert here. I am a loyal user of Trillian, and one of the things I love about Trillian is that when a new chat window comes up, the log from the previous conversation is visible within it.
So, to illustrate, it's a bit frustrating to have a conversation like this:
Me: Hey Mike, do you know how Sally is doing?
Mike: I am away from my computer
I log off or go away. Then a few hours later,
Mike: She hurt her foot
Me: Who hurt her foot?
You get my drift - if new windows had a little history in them, that'd be great. Now, I know how to save chat history, and where it is saved. What I'm wishing for is that it were right there inside the new window with some kind of divider to set the time/context (even a button to view it would be a step in the right direction). I'm guessing there may be an add-on for this, but my Apple Discussion and Google searches have been fruitless.
Any ideas? Thanks all.

HI ZigZagLens,
Welcome To The Apple Discussion Pages.
I only know of a partial solution to this.
If I have a Chat open and the other end person goes offline when they come back my end uses the same window if I still have it open.
There is no way to reopen a close chat window AND add fresh text chat to it.
If you wanted this it would be a feature request.
I could see that it could be done two ways.
1) The Recents item in iChat itself could list the last few saved chats
2) An iChat Recents item could be added to the Blue Apple Recents item.
At present iChat open saved chats are added to the Documents list if they are reopened, so it will probably need both.
It is around this area that you might find a utility.

How to make shortcut so always opens a new window

how can I make a firefox shortcut so when clicked it will always open the page in a new window

You can do the following
#Click on Firefox -> Preferences -> Tabs
#Uncheck the 'Open new windows in a new tab instead'
#Create a URL shortcut on your desktop
#Double click the URL
#This would open the URL in a new window each time

Transferring chat history to a new macbook

Can anyone tell me how to transfer my chat history to a new macbook. I've copied the main.db file from my old macbook, but on my new MacBook Pro I can't find the main.db file to over-ride with the file I've copied from my old MacBook. There isn't a Skype file in the Applications Support. Any tips?

Doesn't sound plausible - from 2004 to 2008 to 2011, all were 'paid' updates. There was no Office 2010 for Macs, only 2011 (which is the latest available at present).
You will need to either buy or 'rent' Office 2011 (by 'renting' I mean using Office 365 which allows you, for $99 per year, the ability to download and use Office on up to 5 devices at one time).
Good luck,

How to have the Chat history without the Exchange server?

How to have the Chat history without the Exchange server?

Hi,
You can try Archiving server. Archiving is the storing of IM and conferencing data in an SQL backend database. This data is not instantly readable / searchable. The Lync users are not able to read it directly. The admin can export the data using Lync powershell
and then convert it into a readable format.

How do I get firefox to open a new window when i click on a link in a webpage ?

When I click on a link in a webpage in Firefox, generally it opens the new page in the window i am in (though some times it does not). How do I get it to open a new window (or tab) each time I click a link.
For example, on www.bbc.co.uk if I click on a link, the new page opens in the same window, if I then click another link in the new window, again, it opens in the same window. To get back to the original window, I have to use the back button twice. Surely there is a setting so that all 3 windows can be open on separate tabs or separate windows.
I have been to the tabs window in options, but doesn't seem to make a difference.

Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
*Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
*Ctrl+left click the link
*right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"
Open link/bookmark in new window:
* Shift+Enter on the link
* Shift+left click on the link

How do I open a frame in a new window or tab?

I want to be able to open frames into their own tabs or window... So how do you do this, or is Firefox NOT CAPABLE of this... i.e. it's LAME and should be shot? (=:]
How do I open a frame in a new window or tab?
========================
Basically... I right click, and a context menu pops up... and there is no option for what I want to do... basically because the frame is so small, and the frame table for this particular site is set to fixed... so you can't resize them... so it's almost impossible to read. If only I could easily click and open in a new window or tab...
I mean... yeah, I can VIEW SOURCE by hand, manually, and find grope the freaking HTML until I find the desired frame URL... but Uhh... likee that's really inefficient, and a waste of time and frankly gives me a headache...
There's got to be an easy way to do this... either with a setting, which I fail to know about, or by a plugin or extension... or by tweaking the source code... but I'm not a programmer, so I'm handicapped there.

If you right-click and don't see a context menu item that says '''This Frame''', that page isn't made with Frames; I-frames aren't "Frames". Unless you have an extension installed that is messing up your context menus ....

Can new group members see previous chat history?

Hi, my friend made a Skype group and joined me to it. We was speaking about something private and we added another friend. We don't want them to know what we was talking about. So I was wondering if they can see chat history from before they joined the group?
If they can, how can we make it so that they cannot see it? Would we have to kick them out of the group?
Please help me, because I'm really worried.

Hey friend! I've been looking on the Internet for answers on how to fix this problem and found nothing!
My skype chats on mobile have been messing up and I have deleted the Skype app and reinstalled it, still didn't do nothing.
Luckily my iPod has been fine so far with Skype and I hate having to use computer Skype. If you find any answers on how to fix this problem, please respond back!

How to make field u201CMPN materialu201D visible in in transaction MEQ1

Hi, All!
In layout of screen 215 in transaction MEQ1 I see field u201CMPN materialu201D, but see this field is invisible for users. How to make this field visible?
Thank's,
Liza

Hi,
In SPRO there is no Field selection for QA. If you want to maintain QA based MPN( get the material number relevant to MPN). Press F4 and select the search criteria search by MPN, you will get the material relevant to that MPN.
