To retrieve your logfile:

Locate your Furcadia directory; for most, it will be located in C:Files

In the furcadia folder, find another folder named 'logs' and open it.

All your logs should be saved in this folder. What exactly is saved here will depend on which setting for Logfile saving you have chosen in your configuration settings.

If there are no log files in the logs folder, check your configuration settings to be sure Furcadia is saving your logs.

How to check your configuration settings for logfiles:

First, log into furcadia. Click the C tab on your Furcadian control panel.

Look for the small button in the middle on the right that says, 'edit my settings', and click it.

A new window will pop up, click the top button which reads 'configuration'.

Under the General tab, near the bottom, there is a field labeled 'Logfile saving:' This gives you four choices for saving log files.

Replace the old log - This option will overwrite your logfile every time you log into furcadia with any character, erasing the log that was there. To retrieve a log file with this option, you must log out of Furcadia, and then go into your Furcadia logs folder to save the logfile under a different name BEFORE you log back into Furcadia. Logging back in will erase your logfile and start a new one with this option.

Append to the old log - This option will add the text of your new log file to the already existing log file, adding text for each new session (every time you log out and back in is a new session) to the end of the text that is already there.

Create new log files - This option will save each log-in session as a separate text file with a unique name based on the Date and Time of your session.

Do not save log file - This option will not save any log files from any session.

If you want to be sure you are saving your log files, it's best to choose the 'Append to the old log', or the 'Create new log files' setting.

Please note that if you log into Furcadia with an alt while you are already logged on, your logfile for the first alt may be lost no matter which option you have chosen in the configuration settings.

When you are done altering your settings, click save at the bottom of the configuration window to save and close it.

Be sure to test your new settings to make sure they are working. If you have additional problems with saving logfiles, try contacting the Help Desk or the Help Channel furres in Furcadia for additional assistance.
