You have access to Patchou's statistics?

Hating Plus! for logging a conversation is absolutely stupid. It only takes one click to turn chat logging off. This is not like some deep registry setting or completely hidden automatic feature which is impossible to change.

My second suggestion is, removing that Chat Logging item from Configuration Wizard and make a system like WLM does for new users.
Contradiction again. First you say let them change it in the Config Wizard, next you say remove it from the Config Wizard.

And in regards to removing it from the Config Wizard: Why???? This is the *number*th suggestion you make to actually remove a userfriendly feature from Plus! which make it easy for people do understand how to use Plus!, just because you or one of your friends don't bother to read what they do.

It is not because you or some of your friends don't bother to read something when they install a program, that such a thing is useless and should be removed all together. That completely doesn't make any sense.

There are already problems enough because people don't bother to read something. Encouraging such behaviour will only make things worse. People should learn to read stuff when they install something or when they start using something. The others who replied here are very correct regarding this.

Also, I dunno what you mean by "making a system like WLM does for new users" as WLM doesn't have any 'system for new users'...

Stick to your original suggestion: disable chat logging by default, which is the only sensible thing to do here (and the only thing which I agree upon). That should be all, not removing anything, not changing other options, not adding 'systems like WLM', nothing more... Anything else you've suggested in this regards doesn't make any sense.

And when talking about numbers: the people who come here and complain or didn't know that Plus! logs chats by default and don't know how to change it, is very extremely small, suggesting that this actually isn't a big problem.
