Chat loses cached messages overnight

[DrN]

I had a quick issue that I wanted to run by the group to see if anyone else was experiencing the same problems with version 1.3.

It seems that whenever I log back into my chat room in the morning, all messages that have been sent prior to my entry do not show up. I have the number of displayed messages set to 400 as I always have with previous versions of phpFreeChat, and this has not happened in the past.

Not only are messages from the previous day missing, but any messages posted before I log in, even if they were posted seconds before I show up, are not available for viewing.

The only thing that seems to remedy the issue is removing all of the messages stored in /chatroot/data/private/chat/<Chat MD5Hash>/channelid-to-msg/ch_Chat+Room, where "Chat Room" is the name of my main chat.

At first I thought it was due to archiving and then removing the "chat.log" file at the end of every day, which I have done forever. However, when I tested the removal of that file this morning, all of my messages were still present.

Any thoughts/recommendations?
