I used to be able to scroll up on my conversations and keep scrolling and scrolling etc...readnig back. but now i can't? now after about 20 short, one line messages, it cuts off the old messages, and i can't go up farther than those unless more messages keep coming in and then it cuts off agains etc... Anyone know how to change that? I'm not sure if it was an update or something, but I'd like to change it back.

im having the same problem too but i can't fix it
Hi,
If these are iMessages in Messages 7.x.x in Mountain Lion they are held in an item called Chat.db in ~/Library/Messages
If you have Time Machine and go to this Folder (Messages) you could replace the chat.db item with an older one that might have "history" that goes back further - but you will lose the more recent items.
There can be issues if the items was replace earlier as this will lose the "history" in the previous chat.db item.
The Messages beta did the best of using older Saved Chats compared to the Messages 7.x.x versions or the Mavericks' Messages version 8
To be clear the Save Chats and the "history" that the chat.db database items in fill are different.
For iMessages it seems the app relies on the chat.db items.
Things were moved fro the Mavericks upgrade which also impacted on this.

Yay thank you for replying.
The loading the old chats would work, but i simply just wanted to be able to scroll up again without having to lose anything. I've done that before with literally a couple weeks of conversation. I have version 8 right now but the problem randomly fixed itself a couple minutes ago and now I can scroll again. I mean it wasn't like I was scrolling wrong before, but that's ok because it's working now. I'll keep all that stuff you said in mind though thank you! Let's hope this doesn't happen again...
Understood.
for the
Points

This happens to me sporadically in Messages 8.0 (4725). Quitting and relaunching Messages seems to fix it.
iMessages- can't scroll to see old conversations
You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is a couple of years old, less people are likely to look at it. A new post would be much more visible. You can link to this one.
