Player Chat in Separate Pane

[Rorroh]

Player chat would be nicer if it was in a separate pane from the ability usage feed. It gets mixed into the abilities too easily to follow it properly.

I definitely want to do this, but where should it be put?

[Contex]

"lastofspades" suggested: "maybe split this column (activity column) in half, upper is for the item usage & lower is for the chat?"

With an independant scrolling bar? Or tabs. There's some freespace near "room / active / Total"

[Contex]

I'd prefer @e314's suggestion, should be easier to implement and look nicer as well.

[e314]

Can't tell for easiness of implementation, but both have pros and cons. Tabs look nicer, and allow easier reading when multiple people write simultaneously. Splitting allows to both read/talk and watch what's happening on the lane. (trolls, Like new, raining gold, ...) Could be at everyone's choice, but that'll be the hardest to implement!
