Severity -1 wishlist Hi,

But indeed, this doesn't appear when noone wrote something in the meantime. > This notoriously leads to responding to days old stuff, etc -- especially if > you're an inattentive oaf like me. Short hint, looking at the timestamps might help with that. Personally I also tab-complete the person who asked something to avoid people who left in the meantime to work around this a tiny bit. > Unlike most other programs with such a kind of display, switching off a > window and back to it doesn't scroll you to the bottom; such a position > persistence is likely to make you forget that you've scrolled. That's intended behavior, and helpful at a lot of times, so it won't get changed I'm afraid. It is something that can be tweaked through usage of scripts though. I'm not aware of one that directly scrolls to the end on window switching, but that should be rather trivial to hack together. Personally I love using the "trackbar" script which gives me an indication on where the last chat message was when I last was in said window, and is extremely helpful in partly fast-paced channels to find the point where you left off reading. The sb_position script though might though be what you want: To assist you installing said script: /script load scriptassist To actually download it: /scriptassist install sb_position To make it visible in the statusbar (see /help statusbar for positioning info): /statusbar window add position If you like it, make it auto load: /scriptassist autorun sb_position I hope that gets you started with your last suggestion, and that this approach might make you happy enough to close this wishlist bug yourself. :) Cheers, Rhonda -- Fühlst du dich mutlos, fass endlich Mut, los | Fühlst du dich hilflos, geh raus und hilf, los | Wir sind Helden Fühlst du dich machtlos, geh raus und mach, los | 23.55: Alles auf Anfang Fühlst du dich haltlos, such Halt und lass los |
