Game log scrolling independently of game board

Hi and thank you for a great website!
My suggestion is to put the game log column on the right in a separate frame from the rest of the screen, to make it possible to scroll down the entire log while looking at the full board.
I play mostly turn-based games and I find it very useful to go over my opponents' moves. Using the log is a much faster way than replaying moves, and allows to go over them at one's own pace. However, when the log is very long, it gets impossible to browse through all the past moves while checking out the board in its final configuration, because the whole screen scrolls down.
I think this would be useful for several games (for sure at least some of the few I've played), therefore it would be a nice change for the general interface that gets applied to all games in BGA.
I'm not sure how complicated of a change it would be in terms of code, but I put the suggestion out there to see if others think that it's a good idea.
Thanks!
