I really like the zone chat in Sweet Blossom Orchard, but I feel like it could be improved. Now, I suspect some of these suggestions won't work just because of size issues, or various things but I'll suggest them anyway.

1) Make the chat a little wider. It's a bit small right now which makes it hard to see what people are saying.

2) Make it so we can see who is in chat. I like being able to see who is in chat so that I can see if the person who said something 5 minutes ago is still there. If they are I could reply to them and keep the conversation going, otherwise I'm just talking to myself. I'm not quite sure how to do it, but perhaps make the Zone Chat (Users) text a clickable link that pops up the names of the people in chat?

3) A time stamp on chat wouldn't be bad. The chat is a bit slow, so if you just enter you might not realize that the last person someone said was from someone who posted it 15 minutes ago and is no longer there. That said, I'd only want a timestamp if the chat was wider. Right now it is too small for a timestamp.

4) Make links in the Zone chat linkable. Cometchat does it, and I really like that feature.

5) If you make it so we can see who is in the chat, make it so we can leave chat or hide chat. Sometimes I just don't feel sociable. Perhaps I only have a couple of minutes online and don't want to talk, or maybe I'm pretending to go to bed and told everyone I'm going to bed but I have just ooooone more thing I have to do and I don't want everyone to think I'm a liar but I'll totally go to bed right after I do this one more thing. So, make it so I can leave the chat. Currently I can just ignore the chat room, but if it is made so people can see the names of who is in the zone, that kinda makes it hard for me to pretend no one else exists if everyone can see I'm in the zone.

yes #1 improvement right thereeeee
