The easiest way to resolve this problem is to right click in the chat window and left click on "select all," then right click again and left click on copy. It will copy all lines of text within the saved lines of text (the site default is 25 lines, unless you expand that in the settings menu in chat).

I've done that. And i spent 10-15 minute weeding out the parts i was trying to actually report. Thats too much work. And my understanding is mods don't want to have to sift through a complaint, but go straight to it. So just posting the entire thing will the mod even bother? Or complain if he does?

I understand, once you copy (presumably to a CC mail) you can just bold the lines of text that are pertinent. In the tool bar to the far left is a bold "B". Drag over the lines like you would to copy, then hit the bold B and it will bold those lines. Makes it easy to go right to the pertinent stuff. :)

I know about that as well, but it still sends me sifting through all the other lines to find the ones i want. Still feel it would be easier to copy/paste the lines directly if the screen wasn't scrolling down when i scrolled it up.

I'm going to bump this thread again, and also say this: While right-clicking on the main chat screen, copying everything, and pasting is ok for reporting something, (since main chat reports are fairly rare), it's slightly less practical if you're AFK for a minute and want to catch up on what was said while you were gone... because while you're pasting and reading in a different window, people continue to converse, and then you miss what was said one minute ago while you're reading what was said 5 minutes ago. Vicious cycle situation.

Since I'm not really a main-screen chatter, most of the time, it's not a big issue for me. But the few times I've returned to my computer and was like, "Goodness, what did I miss?" it was quite frustrating.

Sorry, Robo! God bless you!

Yes - "sellect all"/copy/paste is a good quick and temporary solution. But, it would still be very nice if a good permanent solution could be found.

I am a programmer - and estimate that a good solid stable fix for this might be fairly simple - or, it might possibly take a bit of work to do - depending on how the code is written (particularly, the base-level routines that may be used to detect the current scroll positioning in the window -- and, the modularity of the code that call these routines). So, I understand that a significant amount of effort may have to be made...

I don't think anyone is damanding that this be fixed next week - or anything like that --- but, it would be really nice - as time can be allocated to it (knowing that it is not the highest priority, by any means) - if some reasonable amount of effort could be made...

A lot of the time - or, at least, some of the time - it is the "little things" like this that "make all the difference in the world" --- not that this would be "world-changing", but still...

It would be nice to have it work in a completely user-friendly way. :cool:

Thanks for all the good work that you do. :)
