I'm sure there is a debug setting or an XML option to do that, I'll look when I have time. But they would pile up pretty quickly, unlike 1.x the notification do not hide each other (which is good) but stack up to the top of the screen, cluttering it rather quickly when you're in group chat. My own biggest gripe about the notification system is silly but very annoying : when you receive an object or a notecard you get a "Keep/Discard/Block" window, then once you click "Keep" you get another notification telling you you've accepted the offer. Not only this notification is rather useless (I know I have accepted the offer or joined the group or whatnot, I've just done it), but the "OK" button to get rid of this confirmation is exactly where the "Discard" button of the next notification will be ! More than once I have hit "Discard" by mistake on the second notification of, say, my mailbox that sends me the notecards of my customers. And since it comes from an object, "Discard" will simply destroy the transferred item, not put it in trash. Because of this, one more customer believes I do not respond when someone buys something from a vendor of mine and my server does not deliver. > - put chat and IM back into a non-modal tabbed floater, with the option of > chat being detached into its own "chat history" floater > Chat is not part of the IM window anymore but you can make it tabbed by checking Preferences > Chat > Show IMs in > Tabs, and relogging. > - get rid of all unnecessary spacing in chat and IM > Agreed.
