Elephant logs the chat for you in the background. It saves the WHISPERS, RAID, BATTLEGROUND, PARTY, SAY, YELL, OFFICER and GUILD chats separately, but also all general chats (General, Trade, LocalDefense, ...), custom chats you are currently on, loots and system messages (auctions, rolls, server going down, ...) and combat. When you want to read the logs, simply click on the Elephant icon in the FuBar (or type /elephant), then choose one of the chat icon on the right.
This is THE AddOn that you should install if you want to manage hell tells or simply go AFK for a few minutes. It is also perfectly designed for Guild Leaders, Officers and Raid Leaders particularly because it restores the chats when you get disconnected.
Main features:
* Logs the chats in the background.
* Logs up to 1000 lines for each chat! (Blizzard's default is 161 lines for evertything)
* Restores the chats at login after you logged out or got disconnected.
* Display the chats separately in their own colours.
* Copy the chat and paste it in other applications.
* Save the chats and the combat log in two different files on your computer.
Other features:
* Enable/disable logging for each chat.
* Movable frame.
* Slash commands.
* Bind a key to toggle Elephant.
* Enable or disable logging by default when you join a new channel.
* Objects in the main window are displayed in their proper color and are clickable.
* Player names in the main window are clickable.
* Clear the logs separately or all at the same time.

Thanks for your suggestions, Khurzog, you gave me at least one idea for the next release (I'll put one on Wowinterface today but not containing the idea I just got).
I'm not pretty sure however i'll make Elephant resizable: the aim of this addon isn't to replace the chatframe but to be an useful addition to it.
@ Auraka: You are not the first person to ask for this. I'll see if I'll implement this in Elephant. It's not as simple as it seems.
this post is quite an abundant feature request, but i figure i might as well throw in my ideas. i just discovered elephant, like 30 minutes ago... and its amazing! i like it so much that i wish i could customize it down to be my chat frame. you see i like my chats tabbed out, and every time i make my own custom chat, things get extremely buggy. one of the things i hate the most is that when i lock my chat i completely lose my tabs :-X ive tried customchat, trinity chat, phanx, prat, chatter and more and have not been happy. something else im looking for is tab flashing so when
im looking at my party chat, and someone says something guild id be alerted. so what id like to see is a way to resize elephant and streamline the look so it can serve as a chat frame, then the icons would function as tabs (with hopefully some sort of flashing) i know this basically changes the entire mod and its unlikely you want to do that, but from what ive seen from elephant, i would be amazing to use it in that capacity
thanx again for this, of course ill use it however it comes

Hey Osborn, I'm surely going to do this, but I don't have any ETA at the moment. I'd also like to have this functionnality cause I use SimpleCombatLog too

2.5 will be last release under the name of "ChatLog". Next releases (including combat log) will be released under "Elephant". Don't forget to look for this new title when you come back to get the new release! ;-)
I would love it if you'd actually change the zip file to just include the "ChatLog" folder - just uniformity with most other addons. Minor convenience is all.
