Chat evidence, text or screenshot issue!

[yamgia]

Hello everyone!

So I read multiple times that including screenshots of the chats are better than just the mailed text of the chat history.

Me and my partner have been chatting way too much the past 1-1.5 years and have over 300k (5000+ word pages) messages on this mobile app.
So my issue is getting to the messages that are more than 2-3 months old to screenshot, its impossible for me because it keeps crashing the app after I reached like 20k messages (around 2 months), my partner has the same issue.

I do have the whole chat history mailed to myself in text though, would it be a problem if I only include a couple of screenshots from the last 2-3 months with parts of the history in text of the past 1-1.5 years?

Thanks in advance! ;D

I submitted 1 in every 20 pages of our chat history from Facebook which at that time totalled about 1750 pages. So I submitted about 90 or so pages I think. As long at it shows the progression over the whole span of the relationship, I'm sure you'll be fine.

who told you that screenshots are better? export your entire chat and use this tool to shrink it down: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/chat-log-minimizer-t399219.0.html

it'll automatically take the first X lines of every day/week/month and discard the rest.

Serval people that told me and other people (on this forum and other forums) that screenshots are a better proof because text can be edited/self made.
So including screenshots would "verify/prove" it being "real" or whatever. =/ I can understand why people say so, but it's not that hard to Photoshop screenshots either to be honest (if people REALLY wanna fake).

Anyways I already used that tool to shrink the text down, although I modified the tool a little, but thanks anyways!
