Search your HDD for a specific string used in the conversation. But don't search on unicode characters or other 'special' characters which might be encoded when saved in a XML/HTML file.
And by searching HDD I don't mean using Windows build-in file search utility because that has the tendancy to skip certain files (Microsoft's way of being 'intelligent' and helping the user 
). You better use a tool which can realy scan your HDD byte by byte, like a disk editor. It will take a long time, but in that way you will be sure that everything is searched _and_ possibly deleted data is searched too.
OK, guess what happened? I was just about to ask a friend of mine for help searching for it with a disk editor as you mentioned - and I clicked on the folder where my logs were supposed to be saved.... Lo and behold my most recent chat log was there!
It happened at around 9 pm a few hours after my last talk. It just appeared, but it's not the first one which is the one I want.
How do you think this happened? Was it just some kind of delay in saving and it just suddenly "woke up"?
It just seems to be working fine now. But I am still confuddled as to why it only started saving it now O.o?
I'm still going to try to do as you mentioned just to
make sure the chat log I want is/isn't there. But this is all so unusual.
