Board Game Arena

Especially on turn-based games, sometimes people don't see chats right away and it can lead to confusion, particularly if you send a chat referencing something happening in the game.

It would be nice if the chats had timestamps. I recognize that BGA is a world service so the chats could either just use UTC or perhaps we could have a time zone preference in our profile page.

Finally, there's not a lot of space in the chat window so I wouldn't think that every single message must have a timestamps, but a lot of chat services add a time stamp after a certain period of inactivity (so, if there are 10 minutes since the last chat, it drops a time stamp in.)

I'd love that. Especially for privat message because sometimes I'm away from Monitor and when i come back and see "Hi, wanna play" I would like to know if it was 5min ago or 3hours.

This has been just done.

Thanks.
