i noticed you can't copy-paste the text in the main chat window. i think most users would benefit from being able to copy paste

also because of this, you cant use the scroll on the mouse to scroll upwards, which i find annoying as i like using this alot more than using the scrool bar.

yep. I don't like these changes either. I like the colours, yeah, but not the text box changes.

If you want to copy and paste links and email addresses this is being considered (won't clickable links be better than copying?).

If you want to copy and paste chat conversations into the forum then... well... unlucky ;)

Any other reason why you would want to copy and paste?

Regarding scrolling it's lost unfortunately... :( might be worth using the funkypool chatter to see more chat text (assuming a large monitor)

it does make the funny conversation threads unnecessary, altho 75% of the time, these were junk.

I agree copying the link is a pain, however if they become clickable like they are in msn windows it will solve the problem.

Problem is, you can not have colour text and copy and pasting (on Java). A limitation that's annoying me, too.

You also have to watch out for users who link illegal sites too. Having a direct link will mean an increase of people wanting to visit a certain site. Not too sure if a filter could be used to prevent this...

Yep... if people send adult / illegal links they can get a ban for it (depending where they show the link).
