Suggestion: More pop -up messages (rather than system chat)
« on: January 07, 2013, 05:22:54 am »
I am regularly caught out by the fact that some important messages are only shown in System chat (top panel of chat dialog).
For example - the recent "Sorry for inconvenience, but teleport is not functioning at the moment. Please try again later." message.
Though I suspect the above message is because it is a server generated message (rather than generated by the client) - it would be good if a way to make messages that need to be read - pop up in a dialog (even those from the server).

I'd much prefer it to stay as is, as having messages pop up all the time get annoying to click them off,  in my opinion people need to be more aware of global chat/messages, instead of not paying attention to them.

The key words are "some important messages".
These are the "you cannot do this" / error type messages.

I like the idea. I'd prefer pop-up on what your talking about Singularity.

Options, options, give us more options!

How about a Miscellaneous button that allows you to pick whether these kinds of messages show up as only system messages or as both system and window messages?
