Team Games Chat

In team games, we currently have one window (called Game Chat,) for chatting, and a little check box below that toggles team chat on and off (called show this message to teammates only.)

The Problem:

This means if a player is chatting to teammates AND to members of the other teams, the result is a confusing mass of text that takes some scrolling to decipher. You have to pick out the phrases that match up... Particularly in speed games (or RTs if you're antique,) the checkbox is checked on and off often enough that team plans are inevitably spilled over the page by accident for everyone to see.

Concise description:

SO... Could we have a separate window for team chatting? Game Chat and Team Chat perhaps? You write stuff you want to keep secrect in the separate Team Chat box. No need to check, recheck and then double-check you rechecked the checkbox.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

That keeps things clean, separate and easy to see and prevents team plans escaping.

Rocket!
