Move the Message notification

It's really hard to see the new messages when they're in the bottom left hand corner of the screen, so my suggestion is to put it at the top, just under where it tells you how long you have ppt for.

Re: Move the Message notification

I second this, I miss alot of PMs due to the placement of the PM notice.

Re: Move the Message notification

I dont really have a problem with this. The first thing I do when i log on is look for pm's. I dont think there needs to be a change with this.

Re: Move the Message notification

So do I, but I didn't know they were even there till my Commander told me. By that time I was at 27 messages lol.

It won't do any harm moving it to a more visible position and It'd make it easier to see for new players.

Re: Move the Message notification

in truth, it wouldnt do harm to redesign the entire messaging system as well... but that'd be rather much work...

cant see harm in this idea though...

but perhaps place it instead just below the game clock? on a regular 1024x768 screen, the box would then be visible...
but it might not be that easy though... as it could potentially require redesigning of the sidebar again, and we believe that it wouldnt be worth the amount of work that needs to just move the message thingy...

Re: Move the Message notification

moving it will only annoy the majority that know where it is.

Move it for just one player, umm nope.

It's not moved for 1 player, and I hardly see how it would annoy someone for putting it at the top, it would mean you wouldn't have to scroll down to see it, and new players would know where it is.

Re: Move the Message notification

I'd say don't move it, but perhaps have a message at the top of the screen on the Command Centre page saying something like "You have 3 new messages" But if its a pain to do, it's not worth doing it.

Agreed.
I am no longer a regular forum poster – PM ingame or catch me on msn if need be.

au revoir
