A different message window in the client

Post by curiousredmonkey »

Scrolling back up to see a missed message is slow and cumbersome; as is scrolling back down to current messages, once you have scrolled up.

Can we have a resizable message window? One that is faster and more flexible?

If not, then is there a way to display the messages in a notepad like window? It could be accessed from the current menu "Show", as a submenu "Message Window". It could remain up like any of the other client windows and be refreshed on a keystroke. Have its location and size saved and loaded, could be helpful too.

Or, if none of the above is possible or desirable, output the text area/window to a LOG file? Make it an option in "Preferences", for people with not a lot of disc space? I would suggest that it be a auto-generated file name (once turned on) that never changes, something like "MessageWindow.log". It should be deleted when the client is launched, that way it remains for viewing when client closes. And can be used as a debugging tool for forum posts or emails.

Thanks.
