Ever have an extensive farming session going on, and the yellow box pops up on your left? You click on it only to find out it's the "bank deposit refilled" or someone begging for resources.

Here's an idea that struck my mind when I was checking my mail on Gmail. If there could be a snippet of the log message in the left-hand box, that'd be quite useful.

Here's a rough example.

I don't know about you guys, but during my brief stint of xp-gaining, clicking on the log messages and then going back to world kind of spoils my rhythm.

Yay? Nay?

edit: added poll

Lol, I agree, amazing idea. :wink:

It is nice to get a preview of what you may need to read, very nice indeed.

Oh and nice job on the example. :wink:

Not really, though I check it because it gets on my nerves when I know I have a message I need to read, though I want to ignore it...

Of I can see some of it, I can just ignore it, because I get what the general message of it....

I don't know, that's how I feel.

I still like the idea though...

*Cough* Maybe we could make it so this can be toggled on and off, if some do not like it.

Yes. and should be easy to implement, just copy the code for the new shout box, make a few adjustments and wahla!

I respect every opinion but how can it ruin the flow of things? That's the only thing it intends to enhance. And it has less to do with laziness and more with efficiency.

Would prefer an option to hide it, much like the rest of the clutter over there.

Brilliant! :D :wink:

Did you know that there are likely over 2000 rouge black holes in our galaxy alone. Each of them can reach very high speeds, even in space terms, are each capable of destroying anything in their path, and are invisible. Well, goodnight!
