[Old Topic] Expanded Chat System

Score + 217
Just another reminder that there's a lot of low-hanging fruit here — small changes which could really improve our experience!  You don't have to do the kitchen sink... just give chat some love!
I'd love Timestamps in Chat Archive, I don't see that currently available so I'll add my +1 to this.

Is this still valid? Separate tabs would be absolutely lovely.

We are planning some updates to the Text Chat. Those plans do address some of the the problems brought up in this and the archived thread. Tabbed Text Chat brings up a whole lot of considerations that will have to be made.

Are text chat updates out yet, or date announced? +1 thank you
Since this is listed as feedback, as Roll 20 is seeming to look for ideas. I would say expanding the Chat system to be more chat room-like. The whisper function isn't entirely efficient, as after an amount it cuts and posts the rest in public chat. If we could open up private little chats in-game with the DM, that would work much better. This could work talking with magic between players as well and could even work if parts of the group split up, as the groups can be split up into different little group chat rooms with the GM to keep things known to only the groups involved. Obviously, for the health of the game, I would suggest the DM has access to these logs and chats to keep a healthy game environment and to prevent meta-gaming or any other problems that could arise. There has to be a balance between player secrets to surprise the GM and things that could promote an unhealthy game environment. These are my ideas/feedback, nothing perfect but something for the team to think about and the community to look at and maybe even improve upon my own ideas with their own.
