Hello,

i posted this in the general section before and was advised by Jeanne Tivianne to post it here, he also visualized it so here is the suggestion:
i hope i can explain this in a decent manner as i am not a native speaker. There is one thing as FC and coaltion Member that is a constant Problem. The Organiaztion of all the different chat windows is always a nightmare and once u got it right therea are 3 more chats ure asked to join. As the only way to to stack them is on the horizontal level u have several broad windows messing up the screen cause u still want to read the channel name. If it would be possible to stack them vertically this would help me a lot. i could stack much more channels and adjust the name column according to my needs. I hope u got hte idea and may give me +1 if u think this would be useful.

Let me see if I understand, OP.

Currently stacked channels appear as so:

[Local][Corp][Butts Unli][Tears]
-CHAT SPACE-


What you want is:

[Local]
[Corp]
[Butts Unlimited] -CHAT SPACE HERE-
[Tears]

Revolutionary! I like it, would help me too. Wonder how long would take to code something?...

There will be people that will leave the game over this though, lol.

It's also been requested if we can rename the tabs. Though I think also allowing for seemless merging of channels would be nice as well.

Nice proposal. I would love more possibilities about chat windows, instead just pile those in horizontal stacks.

Obligatory "remove Local to make one less required chat window (spreadsheet) on the screen"

The UI update we deserve

Problem with a capital P...

I have seen other people who suggested variants on this, i would however like to see a better "mute" for chats then what we have now, ie i need local visible but i almost never need to chat in it so i keep it minimized but if that is no longer a thing that might be annoying...

What if local allows for a detach between the members list and the chat list. This would allow for the chat to be minimized while still having local.

The most disturbing with the chat window is the Incursion channel.
