Chat Time Stamps
« on: March 14, 2014, 08:47:11 pm »
In all chats, i would like to see a very simple, for example :

[L][18:24:56] Allfather (New Urengoy [Q]}: Hello!
[L][18:25:14] Allfather (New Urengoy [Q]}: Anyone here?
[L][18:27:23] Allfather (New Urengoy [Q]}: Buying blah blah
[L][18:27:48] Allfather (New Urengoy [Q]}: Selling blah blah

I would like to know when what was said, i think it would be useful. Local, Soc, Corp, chat message, any/all of these would be nice. I know its a little more room thats taking up chat but i think it would be nice

Time stamps are already on the chat logs so I'm guessing you want it to be an option for the chat window too, right? It would be pretty handy to be able to enable in-game time stamps every so often. I can think of many occasions where I've stepped away from my keyboard and come back to someone asking me a question and having no idea how long ago they asked it. For that matter it would be nice to be able to see the time when people in my WRU have logged in or out.

What if instead of being in-line with the chat itself it would show up as a tooltip when we hover over a line? This would be more useful if the chat window didn't auto-scroll every time something new was said, which I also hope to see happen.

The 'how long ago did that question get asked' bugs me as well.
In busy times, the chat lines flow quickly and, if you are distracted by needing to survive a creature or too, known when a line of chat was said can be difficult.
