I think it would look better if the whole tab turned red when there's new chatter as opposed to the way it is now, kinda blocky looking.

I have noticed that less people bother to even look at it. A lot less gl's and gg's here.
I've seen the same thing, but I think this is in part because we're dealing with more new players who aren't used to the gl/gg customs. I know I didn't get it when I first playing games elsewhere. And Bado is right - we have a high AWOlL % right now. Both situations will change over time.

I'm cool with the current highlight in that it is obvious without being too terribly obnoxious. But I agree that it is a bit overly aggressive - it's not necessary to highlight when I'm the one making the new posts. It's an easy fix, but not a high priority one.

I'm glad for opening debate about all this, but I was merely commenting on a tiny aesthetic issue, haha

Shockingly easy to open a can of worms around here, isn't it? :)

indeed, but it's great to have such an engaged group of users and developers.

yeah, and the whole little tab should turn red, not just a red block around the letters :D

move to the long list, in terms of, a more aesthetic highlight method.
