Hexchat History Not Viewable After Copy/Paste Logs From Another
Connection

In Hexchat, I went from direct connection to using a bounce server.

I copied the logs from the previous connection to the new one in the
logs folder, but HexChat only recognizes the logs which were created
during the session, without loading the previous ones. I'd like to be
able to scroll up into the logs if possible, what am I missing, or why
isn't it loading the logs which were dumped into the new logs folder?

There are two folders:

- `logs` contains human readable long term storage.
- `scrollback` contains a short chat history that hexchat loads.

You wanted the latter.

I'm using hexchat on Win10 OS and I'm curious about what the best way
to securely forward ports would be?  I can connect to Servers and xdcc
trys to open a handshake connection however it becomes halted and no
download progress is initiated.
Why is this happening ?
