| There already is a sticky for this sort of stuff. | |
| link | |
| Fri, Jun 15, 2007 | SilentWave |
| I saw that, genka. The list includes one link to a topic on the HUD from 2004. It is not a comprehensive collection of recent HUD suggestions like you see here. P.S. Don't argue with or challenge me. Just read my first sentence in the first post, and reply accordingly. This is a reference for the community and for the developers. |

| So much for the sticky idea. Looks like I'll just have to add this topic to my bookmarks so I won't have to dig it up each time I update it. No biggie. Update: Colored Names in Chat has been implimented into release version 1.7.30. |

| Two suggestions (feel free to bash me with RTFM if it already exists): 1) Something I find myself missing is a <server-time> in the "Chat-format codes", so I can see how long ago something was written. Could this please be implemented, or is this something I should be able to implement myself? 2) A way to split chats, so that every channel is logged separatly. Would be nice so you don't miss guild/private messages while afk. Maybe clicking or just starting to speak in a channel would change log. |
