Wed Jul 12, 2006 10:51 am Post subject: Chat log in reverse |
 
|
I was wondering if it would be possible to have the chat log show up in reverse order. Currently, it shows chat comments, with the latest and the top and the earliest at the bottom.
Could we put the earliest at the top and the latest at the bottom? Ususally when I check the log, I'm trying to follow a conversation (and find out why people are so ticked) and that's hard to do reading backward.
Thanks! |

Yeah, I have thought about that before, it is difficult to read through, but if you reverse the order, then you have to scroll up quite a ways to find something somewhat recent. Kind of a pro/con thing. I understand where you are coming from however Lady.
I would not be against the idea of changing the chat log direction, however, we just need to make sure we understand how that will change things.

Well... maybe it would be possible to make both options available leaving it up to people to decide which way of display they want to see (by providing some kind of button or icon for switching from "standard" to "reverse" and back)
On the other hand, I think, this problem is worth talking about only if it is not a big work for JERIC & Admins to implement such a change.

Very funny. Actually, I can read backwards fairly well. Mirror writing, too. I guess it comes from reading all those hieroglyphs, which can be written left, right, and down. |

I'm not sure it's possible, I've been asking for years

And I thought I was the only one that was driven crazy by this every day. I'm adaptable to many things but the chat log is not my friend.
