Does anyone know if there's a way to record Stars! in game messages? If I get a message from someone I can't select it and copy it in game, so is there some file you can grab the message from or something to record it?

Yeah, bread too.

Yes, go to the Stars Wiki that Gible has set up - he has been collecting all the known Stars! utilities

This link should give you the program you need:

Though we often ask how and why, we must also do to get the answers to the questions.

Another way:
Resize the message window until it is small enough that you have to scroll to read the whole message.

For whatever reasons, now you can copy&paste the message.

Bizarre, but it certainly did work. Except, it doesn't work with messages that are too short, like just a line or two. I also downloaded the utility. It looks particularly useful for when I want to remember just which year I got a message. It seems like I constantly have to backtrack to try to remember when I did something, so that will be extremely helpful. Very Happy

There is also a utility called SnagIt which you can find on the web, but AFAIK only on a 30 day trial basis.

It can capture any text, window, shape, dialog box etc. that can be seen on screen.

Thank you also, perrindom . . . SnagIt might be more useful for some other things.
