It seems counter-intuitive to me that stars and flags appear on the right-hand side of messages, yet to access them, you have to go into a menu on the left side. Wouldn't it be nicer if either a) the menu were on the right, or b) they operated like comment voting, i.e. a little star button and a little flag button that appear over to the right when you mouse over?
Per @Maxim Z's request, I am making my suggestion from the Gravatar bugs and improvements in chat into a full-blown feature request:
I'm not quite sure why, but I think the chat controls would feel more natural on the right, rather than the left.
My idea, as seen below, would be to move the ar...
@HoLyVieR: I think it depends on the height of their last message box. The more messages you post successively without being interrupted, the larger it gets and eventually your avatar grows and the rep is displayed.
Currently in chat, you can silence moderators posts as well as your own.
You shouldn't be allowed to do that. A few reasons:
Moderators hold authority over chat. You shouldn't let people actively ignore the authority in a chat room.
It could get very confusing if you are trying to post messa...
That could lead to Mod: Hey user JerkfaceIdjit, tone down the language or we'll ban you. Mod: Hey user JerkfaceIdjit, second warning. Mod: Hey user JerkfaceIdjit, you're banned. Five minutes later on Meta: "Bug report: chat isn't working for me"
That was odd.
<kbd>SHIFT</kbd> + <kbd>ENTER</kbd> works, but takes a second to register.
there is also a for-one-user-only non-chat notification implemented (currently used for invitations) -- we could give mods a hook to use that, should the need arise
however, I'd like to see proof that there's problem before I try to fix it
It would be really helpful if I didn't have to manually join the rooms I'm interested in every time I launch chat. What I'd suggest is one of two mechanisms for auto-joining chat rooms.
Auto-Join Favorites
Make a setting so that you will automatically join rooms you mark as 'favorites'.

When a message is deleted, it says 'Removed'. Unfortunately, this gets very annoying when I'm trying to edit multiple chat messages together into a single message that is more useful if it is starred, as there are 2-5 'removed' messages right under it.
It would be nice to find a better solution...
today i hit upon an interesting question here on stOckover~flow (about monotonically increasing time, but that is beside the point), and i immediately thought i could contribute somewhat, and so tried to log-in, using my google OpenID thingadongdong.
it didn’t work. well, somehow it did. anyhow...
@MarcGravell The General Chat room now has the perfect description: "Here we have our fill of bread and wine, and then tell of tales of other times we''ve had our fill of bread and wine."
Yesterday I proposed a tag synonymy between [enum] and [enums], but no votes so far. It might be that people don't agree the two things are the same, but it may also be that no one has seen this.
If the latter is that case, and as starting a new thread on meta for these things isn't preferable, ...
And with unlimited storage on the other end, I won't have to worry about it
It's basically like a synchronization software, like Microsoft Live Sync or DropBox, it just sends it to a backup service, fully automated, background monitoring
so seconds after I copy new photos off of my digital camera, they should be on their way to the server
I need to setup something like that for myself. I singed up for Mozy's free 2gb thing and haven't touched it since I had download a client and what not.

Chat dot Meta is now in public
Beta....
I consider this bad poetry. Can we please change the announcement to something non-rhyming?
There once was a guy on SO
whose skill with a rhyme was so-so.
Though Friday 'twas not,
onto Meta he shot
to post goofy questions. Oh no!
There is special linking to some sites in chat. What is the full list of supported and integrated sites?
